Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a Grade I listed parish church with medieval origins, featuring a nave, chancel, and west tower. It is constructed of flint rubble with stone dressings and has a continuous thatched roof. The lower third of the tower is round and includes a lancet west window, while the upper part is octagonal with red brick angles and brick lancet belfry openings on each face, topped with a crenellated parapet. Both sections of the tower were likely rebuilt in the early 16th century. The nave dates back to the 13th century and retains some original lancet windows along with 2-light windows in the Perpendicular style. The south doorway is simply double-chamfered, while the north doorway has been bricked up. The late 13th-century chancel was re-faced in the mid-19th century, featuring original lancet and Y-traceried windows on the north and south sides, along with a 4-light east window that appears to have been renewed in the mid-19th century.

Inside, there is no chancel arch, and the nave has a coupled rafter roof, with many of the trusses likely being medieval. The chancel has a mid-19th-century boarded ceiling. In the sanctuary, there is a trefoil-arched piscina and drop-sill sedilia. A rood loft stair is located in the south wall of the nave. The square font, made of Purbeck marble and dating from the 12th or 13th century, has small remnants of decoration and features a round shaft with four turned wooden corner supports, likely added in the 16th or 17th century. The church also contains mid and late 19th-century furnishings, and three consecration crosses can be seen on the walls, two in the nave and one in the chancel.
