Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church with parts of the north wall possibly dating back to the 12th century. The blocked north arcade of the nave is from the 13th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt and added to between the 18th and 20th centuries. The original structure is made of rubble and limestone, while the later construction features red brick and grey slate roofs. The church has a polygonal east apse and a dentilled eaves cornice, with seven chamfered, two-centred arched windows.

On the south wall, there are three buttresses, with the western one incorporating older materials on its west face. This wall also features a plinth, two cinquefoiled three-light windows with roundels above, and two-centred arched heads with labels that have stops. The nave's north wall has a western buttress that also incorporates old materials on its west face, and a blocked arcade of three bays with two-centred arches of two chamfered orders, moulded capitals, and chamfered bases on octagonal columns, along with attached half columns on the responds.

The west wall includes a plinth, a pediment with a moulded brick cornice, and a round window beneath it with small roundels. There is a gabled porch with a segmental archway and sidelights, leading to a vertically boarded door dated 1937.

Inside, the chancel features a ribbed roof supported by moulded corbels, and there is a brass altar rail. The chancel arch is chamfered and two-centred, also resting on moulded corbels. The nave contains a panelled octagonal pulpit with a sounding board above and wall memorials to Thomas Hicheringwell and his wife Elizabeth from 1747, Elizabeth Hicheringwell from 1805, and John Maurice Constable from 1747. The boarded roof has five tie beams supporting moulded queen posts, and there is a 20th-century octagonal font with carved panels. In the churchyard, there is a 20th-century bell frame that holds a cracked 15th-century bell by John Danyell, inscribed with "Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum."
