Church of St. Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a redundant parish church dating back to the 14th century, with significant remodelling in the 15th century. In 1778, the north aisle was removed, and the chancel was restored in 1887. Further restoration of the font occurred in 1884, and the tower was restored between 1985 and 1986. The church is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings of Lincolnshire Limestone, and some brick. The nave has a pantiled roof, while the south aisle and chancel are covered in lead.

The three-stage west tower has angle buttresses. It features a blocked, cusped ground floor light, and another blocked window above a string course. Cusped lancet windows are present in the ringing chamber, with the northern one blocked. Two-light cusped belfry windows have had their central mullions removed, and the tower is topped with a crenellated parapet.

The west window of the south aisle is blocked; it was originally a two-light, ogeed window dating to around 1340. The aisle has angle corner buttresses and stepped buttresses on its flanks. A gabled south porch has diagonal buttresses and a wave-moulded archway below an ogeed statuary niche. The porch is built into an earlier nave buttress. Three three-light Perpendicular aisle windows feature depressed arches, along with one two-light, Y-tracery window. These windows date from the 15th and 18th centuries respectively. A string course runs below the windows and around the buttresses. A three-light window dating to the 15th century is located on the east side of the aisle, set within a pointed arch. Two two-light south chancel windows are separated by a stepped buttress. The chancel’s east wall has diagonal buttresses. A five-light, cusped intersecting east window is found in the chancel. The north chancel wall has one stepped buttress and one blocked window, bricked in. A brick north nave wall, built in 1778, is supported by stepped buttresses and incorporates three reused 15th-century Perpendicular arched windows.

Inside, the five-bay south arcade features octagonal piers on moulded, polygonal bases, with similar capitals and double-chamfered arches. A low tower arch and a double-chamfered chancel arch, contemporary with and identical to the nave arcade details, are also present. The nave has a barrelled, boarded, and plastered roof. The south aisle roof is simpler, consisting of principals and a single tier of butt purlins. A south aisle chapel has two steps leading to a pedestal and a cusped piscina. A chancel screen, with two bays to the right and left of an arched opening, displays traceried dado panels with paintings of Angels and Saints Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine, and Jerome. Further arched tracery panels, multiply cusped and carried on moulded, painted muntins, are above the dado. Carved lions are visible on the inner muntins on the east side. The chancel roof retains two 15th-century bays, featuring ties on arched braces and three tiers of butt purlins. These were relocated in 1887 to create a flat roof above tie beams. A cusped piscina is set in the south chancel wall. The octagonal 15th-century font was altered in 1884, featuring a traceried stem with demons at the foot and angel heads at the top, supporting a bowl decorated with heads and symbols of the four Evangelists.
