Description
The Church of St Mary is mainly a 14th-century building, comprising a nave, chancel, north porch, south aisle, and west tower. The nave has quatrefoil clerestory lights and 14th-century reticulated windows on the north side. The south aisle features three large Perpendicular windows, and a geometric traceried window in the east end. The chancel has Y-traceried windows on the north and south sides, and an east window with intersecting tracery. A 15th-century north porch is constructed with flint flushwork, diagonal buttresses, and retains its original moulded timber roof, along with two old benches and a carved stone cross on the gabled parapet, featuring a small niche below. The west tower has an embattled parapet, diagonal buttresses, a Perpendicular west window, and two-light bell openings with reticulated tracery.
Inside, a three-bay south arcade is supported by octagonal piers with double-chamfered arches. A tall tower arch is present. The south aisle roof dates to the 15th century, with moulded details and arched brackets. The chancel roof is from the 19th century. The church also contains a late 12th-century font, one 15th-century bench, a 17th-century altar table, and a chest.
