Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church with medieval origins, significantly rebuilt around 1825. It is constructed from flint and fieldstones, with clunch and limestone dressings, while the 19th-century dressings are made of gault brick. The church features slate roofs and includes a west tower, an aisleless nave, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry.

The west tower is primarily from the 19th century, except for its ground stage, which has a wide splay to the rear arch of the west window. The tower is embattled and consists of three stages with diagonal buttressing. It has a moulded main cornice, and the window openings are 19th-century with segmental arches, except for the west window, which is surrounded by gault brick.

The nave has three windows in the south wall made of clunch, each featuring two moulded orders within a four-centred head and a label, dating from the 16th to 17th centuries. The south porch, from the 14th to 15th centuries, has a two-centred outer arch of clunch with two continuous moulded orders. The inner arch is also of clunch, two-centred, and has three continuous moulded orders with a label. The chancel, dating from the 19th century, has two windows in the south wall, each with two leaded lights featuring Y tracery of wood in two-centred arches and brick surrounds, along with perpendicular style tracery of limestone.

On the north wall of the nave, there are three restored clunch windows with limestone, featuring two-centred arches and Y tracery. Inside, there is a late 13th-century chancel arch with three grouped shafts, moulded capitals, and bases in a two-centred arch. Notable brasses can be found south of the chancel arch, commemorating Robert Leverer (died 1427), his wife Isabella, and their son John, as well as Abraham Gates (died 1636) and his wife. Additionally, there is a niche on the north wall of the nave with cinquefoil cusping at the head, dating from the 15th century.
