Description
The Church of St Mary, built in 1873 by Smith of Reading, is located on the site of a medieval church. This small Early English structure features a nave with three bays, two transepts, and a chancel. It has steep tile roofing and a stone bell turret at the west end. The walls are made of flint and stone, with stone dressings, diagonal weathered buttresses, and hood moulds. The windows include cusped lancets, coupled below a quatrefoil in the transepts, a three-light east window set within a partly original perpendicular arch, and a high traceried triangular light with three circles enclosing quatrefoils at the west end. The west door is flanked by a single shaft on each side and has a decorated moulding. Inside, the pulpit and octagonal font are still present, while the transept floors are made of black and white square slabs, and the chancel features encaustic tiles laid diagonally. There are two-wall monuments in each transept, but most furnishings have been removed as the church is currently used as a store. The church is situated adjacent to Ewhurst House on the north-west corner.
