Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a medieval church with alterations from the early 16th century, early 19th century, and 1897. It consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. The walls of the nave and chancel are made of flint rubble, mostly plastered, with limestone dressings. The east end was rebuilt before 1855 and features a limestone east window designed in the 14th-century style. The roofs are covered with concrete plain tiles.

The south doorway, dating from the 12th century, has an arch with four orders and typical restored enrichment, along with two orders of shafts, although only the cushion capitals and bases remain. There is a two-light south window from the 14th century with wide inner splays, likely an enlarged 12th-century window. The church also has two early 14th-century one-light windows and a simple blocked north doorway. The nave roof, dating around 1500, is of the hammerbeam type, featuring arch-braced high collars and king-posts. The easternmost truss has a moulded rood-beam instead of hammerbeams, and there is no chancel arch. The chancel has a ceiled canted roof.

The tower was added in the early 16th century and is made of red brick, featuring diaper patterning in burnt headers and limestone quoins. It has prominent buttresses and a stair turret. The west doorway is well-moulded with a square label and a coat of arms in the spandrels, and it retains its original oak plank door with linen fold carving and some enriched battening. Above the doorway is a three-light west window. The belfry stage was added in 1897 and features a prominent timber-framed and brick-nogged gabled roof with dormer belfry windows and a copper-clad spire. A timber-framed gabled porch was also added around 1900.

Inside, there is a finely carved octagonal pulpit from around 1600 and richly carved wooden Arms of Queen Anne on the south wall. Three nave windows contain stained glass figures from around 1880. The altar reredos, dating from the late 19th century, features carved and gilded figures of saints and angels.
