Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church, primarily built in the 14th century and restored in the 19th century. It is constructed of stone with a slate roof and tiles on the chancel. The church features an embattled tower with a stair turret on the southwest, a nave with a clerestory, an aisle, and a south porch. The chancel was designed by William Burges in 1861. The aisle windows showcase good 14th-century Decorated style tracery, while the east window features a large plate tracery design by Burges. Inside, the nave has four bays supported by moulded piers and arches, rectangular one-light clerestory windows, a plastered barrel-vaulted roof, and plastered walls. Notable fittings include medieval and 19th-century fonts, and a pier dated 1651. There are several monuments, including a brass in the north aisle floor believed to be for Richard Ruthall from 1528, depicting a man in armor and his wife. Wall monuments from the 19th and early 20th centuries commemorate members of the Carrington family, including Robert, 2nd Baron Carrington, created by Lerolle of Paris in 1868, featuring a brass tablet with an elaborate baroque bronze surround, and Lady Carrington, his wife, represented in white marble with delicate rococo style ornament by Boehm, undated.
