Description
The Church of St Mary the Virgin, built in 1896 by J L Pearson, is designed in the Early English style. It features a chancel with a north vestry, a nave with a north aisle, and a tower located at the east and south side of the nave, which includes a chapel. The exterior walls are made of flint with Bath stone dressings, and there are lancet windows and smaller coupled lancets in the chancel and aisle. The building has impost and cill bands, stepped buttresses, and a plinth. It is topped with a tile roof and a shingled broach spire. Inside, there are screens separating the chapel from the nave and the chancel from the nave. A notable feature is a large Triptych, which is said to be a copy of one found at Jacobskirche in Rothenburg.
