Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a small building made of flint and stone, originating from the early 12th century, with an early 13th-century chancel that is externally undivided from the nave. It underwent extensive restoration in the 19th century, which included an addition to the north side. The original round west tower was destroyed in the 18th century, and a modern bellcote now replaces it. The nave features a west doorway dating from around 1125, which has been reset, along with a blocked south doorway of similar age. Both doorways are adorned with tympanum and frieze decorations of saltire crosses, and the arch of the south doorway is embellished with foliage scrolls. The chancel contains four early 13th-century lancet windows. Notable fittings include a 15th-century font and seven restored 15th-century benches. Additionally, the organ built by August Gern is recognized as the only unspoiled example of his work in the country. The church is valued for its architectural and historical significance.
