Church Of St Mary Of Grace

The Church of St Mary of Grace is a parish church that dates back to the medieval period and was restored in 1853. It features a nave, chancel, west tower, north porch, and north vestry. The building is constructed from flint rubble, with some remnants of plaster on the nave and chancel, and has stone dressings. The nave has a slated roof, while the chancel roof is covered with old plain tiles on the south side and scalloped black plain tiles on most of the north slope.

The 15th-century square tower has diagonal buttresses on the west side, a moulded west doorway that is now blocked, and two-light belfry openings that have mostly been altered. The tower is topped with a crenellated parapet featuring knapped flint facing. The nave consists of two bays with restored 15th-century windows that have mask label stops. There is a moulded north doorway with a medieval door and an unmoulded south doorway. The timber-framed porch, likely from the early 16th century, has been much restored and features brick-nogging at the front, with an original roof that has a moulded cornice and ridge piece.

The early 14th-century chancel includes two south windows with Y tracery and a simple Priest's doorway, along with a three-light east window that has intersecting tracery. Inside, the church has a three-bay arch-braced nave roof with tie beams, which is probably post-medieval and has undergone 19th-century restoration. The chancel ceiling is boarded, and there is a moulded chancel arch with 19th-century label stops. The sanctuary features an early 14th-century trefoil piscina, and the 15th-century font has restored carving depicting four lions on the stem and alternating roses with angels and lions on the bowl. Two chancel stalls incorporate re-used 15th-century tracery. The 19th-century furnishings include a set of nave benches with panelled poppyhead ends and carved arm-rests. There are also minor wall tablets dedicated to members of the Chevallier family.
