Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period, with later additions. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1913. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and brick dressings and features plaintiled roofs. The church includes a west tower, a nave with a south porch, and a chancel, along with a north aisle that serves both the nave and chancel.

The 14th-century west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a moulded west doorway with a four-centred arch. Above the doorway is a finely carved 14th-century Crucifixion scene, set beneath a nodding ogee arch within a rectangular frame decorated with vine leaf scrolls and a moulded hood mould with deeply undercut carving. A kneeling female figure is depicted at the foot of the cross, accompanied by a pair of flanking figures in miniature niches. Above this, there is a two-light Y-traceried window, along with two-light traceried bell openings featuring mouchettes.

The nave contains two restored three-light Perpendicular windows on the south side, while the chancel has two restored three-light Perpendicular windows with embattled transoms, as well as a five-light east window in a similar style. The north aisle features a re-set 14th-century east window with three lights and a spherical triangle flanked by mouchettes, with other north aisle windows dating from 1913. There are four clearstorey windows on the north side, dating to around 1500, made of brick and consisting of two lights with cusping.

The north arcade, dating from around 1500, has seven bays with a single order of hollow chamfered arches that continue onto narrow lozenge-shaped piers. The piers have moulded imposts and decorative rose and ball flower motifs below. The tower arch consists of three chamfered orders, and there is no chancel arch. The chancel features a cusped piscina with spandrels. The roof is modern, with a king post design that includes arched braces and a traceried wall plate.

Inside, there is an octagonal font with a plain bowl and an arcaded stem, along with several 15th and 16th-century brasses commemorating the Yelverton family. Fragments of medieval stained glass can be found in the easternmost south window.
