Description

The Church of St Mary, dating from the early 13th century, is constructed of ashlar and features lead roofs. The nave includes Decorated south windows on either side of the porch, along with a Decorated south doorway and large Perpendicular south windows. The early 13th-century north aisle and north chapel have straight-headed Perpendicular windows. The chancel, built in the 15th century, has Perpendicular 3-light east and south windows. The chancel, north aisle, and chapel are buttressed, while the nave, chancel, and north aisle feature moulded parapets. The 15th-century south porch is adorned with battlements and has a winder 4-centred arch. The west tower, constructed in the 14th century, has angle buttresses, a moulded base, and recessed sides with large 2-light bell-openings featuring Y-tracery and ball flower friezes; the west window has ogee details. The stone broach spire is topped with two tiers of lucarnes.

Inside, the church has an early 13th-century three-bay north arcade, plus one 14th-century bay at the west end. The three bays feature double-chamfered round arches and circular piers with round moulded capitals and abaci. The west bay is narrower and has a pointed arch with crenellated capitals. The nave and chancel roofs are supported by depressed tie beams. There are two notable 13th-century piscinas, both gabled and not in their original positions; one is decorated with oak leaves and acorns, while the other is crocketed and has a finial. The church also contains a 13th-century octagonal font on clustered columns and a monument to Mary Henson from 1805, created by Sir Richard Westmacott. The interior includes Victorian furnishings.
