Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a 14th-century church that was extensively rebuilt after a fire in 1842, caused by fireworks let off from the tower. It is constructed of flint rubble with brick and ashlar dressings, and has a brick and slate roof.

The west tower, originally 90 feet high, was reduced to 60 feet following the fire. The west face has deep diagonal buttresses that rise to the full height of the shortened tower. The ground-floor doorway has a weathered, double-chamfered ashlar surround with a hood mould and brick voussoirs. Above is a three-light window with interlaced tracery featuring cinquefoil heads and daggers. A single-light, now louvred window also sits above, with a cinquefoil head and hood mould. The tower is topped with battlements. The south face is largely blank except for a similar louvred window. The right-hand buttress has been strengthened with 19th-century brickwork. A canted staircase turret is located on the north face. The east face abuts the nave and shows the outline of the former nave roof. A "Sanctus" window opening, now serving as a belfry opening and fitted with louvres, is also present.

After the fire, the nave and chancel were combined within the reduced width of the old nave, incorporating the old aisle arcades into the external walls. These arcades consist of four arches with central octagonal and lateral circular pillars. The infill is a mix of flint rubble and brick, with brickwork to either side of the piers and the top of the wall. The south face has 19th-century Y-tracery windows to the two central arches. A blocked and partially rendered doorway is set into the left arch. The north face is similar, but without the blocked doorway. The east face has a buttress to the left, a brick buttress on the right, and a low central buttress below a two-light window with cinquefoil heads and plate tracery.

Inside, the tower arch is chamfered, with a plastered four-centred arch added in the 19th century. A font with a baluster stem above two steps and a semi-spherical bowl is also present.
