Description
The remains of the Church of St. Mary are the ruins of a parish church dating from the 13th century. The structure features a circular western tower with a 14th-century belfry stage, constructed from flint with brick dressings. The tower still stands along with part of the western gable wall. Occasional fragments of masonry indicate the wall lines of the main body of the church. The tower is three stages high and has a lancet window to the west. The windows in the ringing chamber are made of brick and have rebated edges, with a set-off below the belfry. The original type of belfry window is now unidentifiable. A tall tower arch has been blocked, and a low rounded doorway was inserted, likely in the 15th century.
