Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates from the 12th century, with elements from the 13th and 15th centuries, and has undergone substantial restoration, including the addition of nave arcade aisles in 1890 by Henry Woodyer. The building features flint walls and a tiled roof. The Norman chancel includes a north chapel from the 12th century and a south chapel from the 13th century. The nave consists of three bays, with aisles and an arcade added in 1890, a west tower dating from around 1200 and the 18th century, and a south porch.

The exterior is largely restored, showcasing three parallel roofs, with the eastern end lower than the rest. The walls are made of flint with stone dressings, and there are old lancet windows in the chapels along with two Perpendicular windows in the south aisle, which are composed of old fragments from the west windows of the chapels. Stepped buttresses are present at most corners. The tower's lower part is roughcast over stonework and features massive diagonal buttresses, while the upper stage is made of brickwork from the 18th century, adorned with diaper patterns and a crenellated parapet.

Inside, the nave is Victorian and houses a Norman Purbeck arcaded font set on a Victorian Early English base. The tower arch dates to around 1200. The arcade on the north side of the chancel has been raised, with original round columns that have scalloped caps, and above are three 15th-century clerestory windows. The south side of the chancel features 15th-century round columns with moulded caps. There are piscinas in the chancel and chapels from the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, and the roof at the east end retains old timbers. A Jacobean communion rail is also present.
