Description
The Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist was built in 1865 by Woodger on the site of a former church. It features a chancel, a nave with a north aisle of three bays, and a tower at the west end, which serves as a porch for the bottom storey, along with a vestry. The church has a steep tiled roof and is constructed from squared knapped flint with Bathstone dressings, displaying a generally Decorated style. It includes angle buttresses at each end, cill bands on the chancel, and a plinth. The east and west windows are traceried, while the south side has smaller reticulated tracery and small coupled cusped lancets in the aisle. The tower consists of three stages, topped with a broach spire and featuring an octagonal stair turret leading to the bell chamber, along with a pointed arch entrance. Inside, the church is fairly plain but has decorative elements such as an enriched chancel arch, capitals on the circular columns of the arcade, an octagonal font, a carved reredos, and a large brass candelabra.
