Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a former parish church that is now redundant. It dates from the early 11th century and the 15th century. The building is constructed of flint with stone dressing and features lead roofs. It includes a west tower, nave, and chancel, as well as north and south transepts and a south porch.

The round tower has two-light windows with a central shaft and remade twin triangular arches. The nave has four bays and two three-light perpendicular windows with two centre arches on the south side. The two-storey south porch has re-faced diagonal buttresses and a badly weathered outer doorway with a moulded two-centre arch and spandrels. Above the door is a central statue niche flanked by two square-headed windows with cusped ogee tracery. There is a blocked two-light east window.

The single-bay transepts feature tall four-light perpendicular windows on the north and south sides, while the east side has three-light windows with staggered brattished transoms. Inside the chancel, there is a three-light perpendicular east window set within a higher arch that has earlier jambs at the arch-springing level. A blocked two-light decorated window is located in the north wall of the chancel.

Rood stairs are present in the north-east corner of the transept and chancel. The chancel arch is supported on corbels, and the roofs feature an arch-braced design with ridge-piece and curved wall-bracing in the transepts. Diagonal ribs over the crossing include a central carved boss and angels. The transept roofs have butt-purlins, and the small first bay of the nave roof also features butt-purlins. The chancel roof is arch-braced with curved wall bracing and is panelled with richly cusped quatrefoil and heraldry.
