Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a Church, largely dating to 1846, designed by Benjamin Ferrey in the Early English style. A north aisle was added in 1883, and a tower in 1908-10 by S. Stallwood. The church is constructed of flint with Bath stone dressings. The exterior features buttressed walls and plate tracery windows, with coped gables to the tiled roof. The church consists of a five-bay nave, north and south aisles, a square tower on the northwest, and a gabled entrance porch on the south side. The three-stage tower has stone string courses, a cornice, a plain parapet, and a small pyramidal tiled roof. It includes three-light windows with stone mullions and heavily moulded pointed heads on the top stage, and simpler narrow slits elsewhere. A small stone bellcote sits centrally on the ridge of the nave. Internally, the church has arcades composed of alternating octagonal and round columns with moulded capitals, supporting round arches. The roof is arch braced with king posts and curved windbraces to the purlins. Stained glass by Willement, dated 1847, is found in two lancets in the south aisle.
