Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, topped with lead roofs. The church features a west tower, an aisled nave with a north porch, and a chancel. The tower, built in the 14th and 15th centuries, has angle buttresses and an ogee and wave-moulded west doorway, with a 19th-century three-light traceried window above. The middle stage includes relieving arches made of flint and stone, with rectangular loops below. The bell-openings are two-light Perpendicular style with super-mullions and shallow heads, and there is a post-medieval brick crenellated parapet.

Flanking the tower are aisles, with the west walls featuring a two-light panel traceried window on the north side and a post-medieval two-light Y-traceried window on the south side. The north porch, built in the 15th century, is two stories high and includes a stair turret on the west side. It has an arched entrance and a three-light window above with brick chamfered mullions, along with two-light cusped side windows. The kneeler finials display mutilated figures. The north doorway from the 14th century has filletted rolls that die into plain jambs. There are two two-light panel-traceried windows on the north side and a similar three-light window in the eastern aisle. The south aisle has similar fenestration, including a 14th-century doorway with dying filletted rolls. The church also features six 14th-century quatrefoil clearstorey windows, with a pair of late-medieval three-light additions at the eastern end. The former 14th-century roof-line is visible on the eastern face of the tower. The chancel contains four two-light panel traceried windows and opposing priests' doors, which are blocked on the south side. There is a 19th-century three-light reticulated window in the east, along with octagonal kneeler turrets on the east gable.

Inside, the church has 14th-century four-bay nave arcades with two hollow-chamfered orders on octagonal piers, and a similar chancel arch. The tower arch is partially blocked. There is a cusped piscina in the south aisle next to a medieval altar slab, and the aisle roofs are 15th-century, moulded, and arch-braced. The chancel has a plain arched piscina, and the font, which is octagonal from the 14th century, is topped with a 17th-century crown cover. Additionally, there are three fine wall monuments within the church.
