Description
The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates primarily from the first half of the 14th century and was restored in 1896. It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and has some brick repairs. The nave is covered with plain tiles while the chancel has a slate roof.
The church features a three-stage tower with diagonal stepped buttresses on the west side. It has a two-light Decorated window on the west, with no windows in the ringing chamber. The belfry is set back behind a string course and has two-light ogeed windows with mouchette heads beneath square-headed hoods. The parapet is crenellated and features flushwork. The nave has stepped diagonal buttresses and a gabled south porch with a moulded arch and two-light side windows.
In 1896, two timber windows were added to the north and south of the nave. To the west of the arched north door is a restored two-light Decorated window, with windows separated by stepped buttresses. The chancel has two two-light windows from the 19th century on the south side and one on the north side. Additionally, there is a double chamfered brick priests' doorway from the late 14th century on the north side of the chancel. The east window of the chancel is a restored three-light window with an ogeed central light, cusped side lights, and three squashed vesicas with quatrefoils.
The inner south doorway is wave moulded with one order of shafts featuring seaweed capitals, and the wave moulded hood is adorned with fleurons on the head stops.
Inside, there is a four-centred tower arch resting on head corbels and a blocked segmental-headed window west of the south door. The nave roof is scissor-braced and dates from the 19th century, as does the chancel arch, which has blocked rood stairs. There are two consecration crosses in the chancel, and the chancel roof is also arched and from the 19th century. The church includes bench sedilia and a cusped piscina, as well as an octagonal font with a recut stem featuring trefoiled lights and quatrefoils in the bowl panels.
