Description
The Church of St Mary, built in 1835 by W. Ranger, is designed in the Early English style. It features a nave and chancel, a north vestry, and a south-west tower with an entrance porch at the ground floor. The building is constructed of stucco on concrete, with slated roofs and a plain-tiled pyramid roof on the tower. Notable architectural details include hood-moulded lancet windows and a stepped triple lancet window in the east wall of the chancel. The tower is three stages high, with a ground floor porch that has a moulded west doorway, quatrefoiled circular windows in the ringing chamber, and two lancet windows on each face of the bell chamber. Inside, there is a plaster representation of the Hanoverian coat of arms, dating from around 1835.
