Description
The Church of St Mary is a former parish church, now redundant, built between 1857 and 1858 by E.B. Lamb. It incorporates 12th-century doorways from the old church. The structure includes a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry, constructed from flint rubble with stone dressings and topped with a plaintiled roof featuring ridge tiles. Designed in a Neo-Norman style, the church has round-headed windows arranged in groups of one, two, and three, with the apse illuminated by seven small windows. The west end features a group of three lancet windows above which is an octfoil circular window, all set within an arched recess. A gabled bell turret is also present.
Notable features include a well-preserved south nave doorway from the 12th century, which has a slightly pointed arch with a continuous inner order of zig-zag decoration, one order of colonnettes with carved capitals, and a further order of carving above the arch, along with a continuous outer band of carved motifs that is gabled over the arch. The entrance arch of the porch reuses a simpler 12th-century doorway. There are two gabled dormers added to the north nave and south chancel in the early 20th century. Inside, the church features tiled window reveals with deep rere-arches and an early 17th-century pulpit.
