Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a medieval church that was restored in 1876. It features a nave, chancel, south aisle, west tower, and south porch. The building is constructed of flint rubble, with the exception of the chancel, which is rendered, and has limestone dressings. The roofs are slated with parapets; the tower and aisle roofs have crenellated parapets. Most of the medieval features date from the mid-14th century, although the coursed flint rubblework in the north nave wall may be from the 12th century. The north vestry doorway likely dates to the late 13th century.

The church has 2-light 14th-century windows in the nave and aisles, which are curvilinear traceried, some featuring mask corbels on the hood-moulds. The east chancel window consists of three lights and is net-traceried. The 14th-century tower has crenellated parapets and 2-light belfry openings. On the west face of the tower, there is a blocked ringing chamber window, below which is a quatrefoil window flanked by a pair of image niches, and a moulded west doorway. The 14th-century bell-frame includes a section of a 15th-century carved and vaulted rood-loft, likely repurposed for repairs during the Reformation.

The 14th-century porch has 2-light side windows and a moulded doorway with engaged shafts, topped with a cross base. The south doorway is moulded and contains a stoup inside, while the north doorway is simpler. Inside, there is a 4-bay nave arcade with octagonal piers from the 14th century. The chancel features a pair of restored crocketed image niches flanking the east window and a simple piscina. The vestry, rebuilt in the 19th century, includes a squint from the 13th or 14th century that looks towards the altar. The north nave wall has a 14th-century tomb-canopy with a moulded arched head, and the aisle contains a 14th-century image niche and piscina, along with 15th-century rood-loft stairs.

The nave boasts a fine but restored 15th-century roof with seven bays of hammerbeam trusses, featuring well-carved angels attached to arch-braced collars, hammerbeam ends, and wall-posts, along with 2-light clerestory windows. The chancel and aisle have 2-light late 15th-century windows that were restored in the 19th century. Most doorways are fitted with 15th or 16th-century moulded plank doors. An octagonal pulpit from the 17th century is present, as well as a limestone font with a chamfered square bowl, which has been restored or renewed in the 19th century. The nave contains five marble floor slabs, four of which bear achievements, dating from 1680 to 1749.
