Description
The Church of St. Mary is a Grade II* listed building dating from the 13th century, with 15th-century elements and 19th-century restorations. It features a simple nave and chancel, along with a timber-framed bell turret at the west end and a 19th-century vestry located south of the chancel. The church has a tiled roof, with a pyramid-shaped roof over the bell chamber that is finished with vertical boarding. The walls are constructed of flint with stone dressings, and there is a plain round-arched west door from the 13th century, as well as lancet windows that are mainly from the restoration period.
Inside, the western bay of the four nave bays contains the ringing chamber, which has a plaster wall on the east side and a ceiling. The separation from the nave is marked by a lightly-framed arcaded wooden screen dating from the 15th or 16th century. The chancel arch is plain and pointed, with chamfered imposts. On the chancel floor, there is a brass memorial for John Tanner and his family, dating from around 1525, as well as a wall monument from 1720, with the rest of the fittings being of Victorian origin.
