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 and plaintile roofs. The church features a tower porch on the south side, an aisle-less nave, and a chancel. The late 13th-century tower has angle buttresses and a moulded entrance arch supported by triple shaft responds with polygonal capitals. Above the arch is a carved heraldic shield with a cusped statue niche. The first floor of the tower has three flat-headed loop openings, while the bell stage includes two 2-light Y- and plate-traceried openings on the east and west sides, a cusped and Y-traceried opening on the south with a blocked spandrel, and a plain lancet on the north. The tower has a shallow pitched roof without a parapet.

The west wall of the nave features a 5-light Y-traceried window with cusping, six quatrefoils, and one cinquefoil, which is a 19th-century restoration within the original opening. The south wall of the nave has a cusped Y-traceried 2-light window with a cusped spandrel light and a 3-light late-medieval panel-traceried window without cusping. The north wall contains two 2-light Y-traceried windows, one with cusping to the east and the other with plate-tracery to the west. Both the north and south doorways have two wave-moulded orders, and all nave openings feature finely carved label stops.

The chancel has been largely rebuilt and includes a modern 3-light east window in a Geometric style, along with two 2-light cusped Y-traceried windows on the south side, of which the westernmost is original. There is a priest's door on the north side. Inside, the chancel arch is plain and chamfered without responds. The nave has a piscina with a cusped ogee arch and a surviving rood stair on the north side. The original scissor-braced nave roof consists of 32 trusses, although the top third of the roof has been removed and replaced with a shallow pitched boarded arrangement just above the collars. The church also features tall ashlaring on a moulded wall plate and an early 14th-century font with a plain circular bowl on a moulded octagonal shaft.
