Description
The Church of St Mary is a Grade I listed building, primarily dating from the 14th century. It consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, and north porch. The church features Perpendicular style windows, with straight-headed windows in the chancel. The west tower is constructed of knapped flint and has flushwork panelled battlements, diagonal buttresses on the west side, a stair turret leading to the belfry, and a west doorway adorned with fleurons in the spandrels. The north porch, built in the 15th century, also has flushwork panelling. Inside, there are some 15th-century bench ends with poppy-heads and a few featuring relief carving. The 15th-century font is decorated with four lions on the stem and flowers, as well as angels and lions on the bowl, accompanied by a 17th-century cover. A notable monument from 1623 is an alabaster tablet dedicated to Robert Woode, featuring an inscription between two obelisks and a skeleton below. The church is built of flint with stone dressings, topped with a slate and tiled roof.
