Description
The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade I listed building, primarily dating from the 15th century, featuring plastered elevations. It consists of a nave, a west tower, a chancel, a south porch, and two east transepts. The south door is designed in a 13th-century style and is accompanied by two square-headed windows with four lights and a transom-hood moulding. The south transept, built of red brick in the 17th century, includes an eight-light window with cinquefoiled hood moulding. The north transept features a restored three-light window with quatrefoils and reticulation. The west tower has a plinth, two offsets, an embattled parapet, and a short spire topped with a vane. It also has a plain rectangular window on the first stage and two belfry windows with trefoils. The nave and chancel share a continuous roof that retains some early components. The font is octagonal with a 15th-century stem and bowl. The interior includes some armorial glass and oak poppy-head benches in the nave.
