Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and brick dressings, topped with pantiled roofs. The building features a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a chancel with a north chapel. The west tower, which is from the 15th or early 16th century, includes significant brickwork, diagonal buttresses, and a canted stair turret on the north side. It has two-light brick bell-openings with Y tracery, which have been removed to the south, and a two-light traceried west window with mouchettes beneath a segmental head. Above this is a former clock recess, and the tower is capped with crow-stepped parapets and diagonally set finials.

The south wall of the nave contains some 12th-century masonry and features blocked 13th-century nave doorways with plain chamfered reveals. There is a late medieval south door that retains an iron loop-drop handle adorned with a pair of winged dragons and a pierced backplate. The nave has three windows from 1879 in a Curvilinear style. The chancel and north chapel, dating from the 15th century, are made of galletted flint and stone rubble, featuring a simple cusped three-light east window and similar windows on the south and east of the chapel. The chancel includes a piscina surrounded by moulded tiles that depict swans, two-headed eagles with crescents, and rampant lions.

Inside, there is a Victorian reredos in the Decorated style that illustrates the Last Supper, and a fine brass from 1521 depicting effigies of Edward and Elizabeth White. The 15th-century octagonal font is decorated with angels and lions in panels, supported by lion corbels. The chancel roof is arch-braced and features a possibly original roll-moulded wall-plate. The church has group value in relation to the Church of St Martin.
