Church of St. Mary the Virgin

The Church of St. Mary the Virgin is a parish church built in 1867 by William Butterfield. It features a combination of chequered brick and flint, with brick and Bath stone bands and dressings. The roof is made of old tiles, adorned with decorative ridge tiles and a stone-coped gable at the east end. The structure includes a nave and chancel, with a bell turret that rises from the west gable, set on a projecting brick and flint panel. This turret has four stone corbel blocks and a square three-stage buttress at the center of the gable.

The lower stage of the turret is tile-hung, while the belfry level is clad in cedar shingles, featuring two-light wooden openings with louvres and topped with a pyramidal shingle roof. The north front has a brick and stone plinth at the east end and three buttresses, with the central one being lower. A moulded string at cill level runs around the buttresses, and the eaves are toothed brick. There are four bays with two-light windows that have stone trefoil heads and plate tracery.

On the left end, there is a porch with two small angled buttresses. The entry screen is timber framed with carved bargeboards, and inside the porch are two wall seats and four-light diamond leaded wood windows with pointed heads, each featuring quatrefoil lights above.

Inside, the church has red brick with white brick patterning. The four-bay arcade is supported by square brick piers that are slightly chamfered and have stone dressings. A carved wood tripartite screen leads to the chancel, which is decorated with polychromatic brick and ceramic tiles on the walls and floor. A stone string runs over the reredos and steps up to form a pediment. There is a stone credence on the north wall and a piscina in the vestry. The marble font features a colonnaded front. Most of the stained glass is by Gibbs, except for the northeast window in the aisle, which was made by Kempe in 1896.
