Description
The Church of St. Mary is a parish church now in ruins, with the exception of its 15th-century tower and a 19th-century south-west chapel. The tower is constructed from flint and plaster, featuring dressed stone quoins on a weathered plinth. It has three stages with offset diagonal buttresses. The doorway, which lacks a door, has a double roll chamfer and a dripmould. There is a two-light Perpendicular window with a cinquefoil above it, and a string course leads to the belfry, which has an 18th-century two-light opening and a battlemented crown. The north and south faces of the tower have single lights above the string course and belfry openings. There is a blocked arch leading to the nave supported by octagonal piers. The south aisle wall remains, made of hammer-dressed stone, and includes one two-light window and another two-light window with a sexfoil above. At the southern end, there is a 19th-century mortuary chapel built from chalk ashlar with a plain tile roof, featuring cusped lancet windows and a vaulted interior. All interior fittings and monuments have been removed.
