Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a parish church built in 1848 by J C Buckler. It is constructed from coursed carstone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The church has a continuous nave and chancel designed in the Early English style, with a gabled west end. The west entrance includes an arched door beneath a two-light window with plate tracery. Diagonal buttresses support the nave, which has two-light windows also featuring plate tracery with trefoils above the trefoiled lights. The south door is trefoiled and located below a lancet. The church has flat side buttresses and a dentil eaves course. At the apex of the east nave gable, there is a gabled bellcote containing a bell in a trefoiled opening. The chancel has side windows with trefoiled lancets, two on the south and one on the north, and a three-light plate traceried east window. Flat east buttresses display modified stiff leaf decoration. To the north of the chancel is a lean-to vestry with two lancets and a trefoiled door.

Inside, there is a west gallery supported by six splayed timber posts. The nave roof features large arched braces to collars that spring from corbels, with two tiers of through purlins. The chancel arch is hollow chamfered and has engaged columns. The chancel roof mirrors that of the nave. A stone reredos from 1887 is located in the chancel, consisting of three cusped arched bays, each topped with a crocketed and finialed gable. The east window contains glass by T Wilshurst, depicting Faith, Hope, and Charity.
