Description

The ruins of St Mary's Church are the remains of a former parish church, believed to be medieval in origin, with a south porch dating from around 1500. The ruins are constructed from flint and rubble and are now heavily overgrown, surrounded by barbed wire. The porch has been demolished, and only the bases of some walls remain, rising to about 1 metre above ground level.
