Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates back to the 12th century, with extensions made in the 13th and 14th centuries. It underwent restorations in 1877 and 1936. The church is built of ragstone and features a plain tiled roof, a timber-framed porch, and a shingled spire. Its layout includes a chancel, a south chapel, a nave, and a south aisle with a south porch, as well as a western tower.

The tower is two stages high, with double offset corner buttresses and a broach spire. It has a lancet window on the west side, belfry openings, and a restored hollow chamfered and roll moulded west doorway. The nave and aisle share a single catslide roof, with lancet windows and 15th-century label-headed Perpendicular windows on the north side of the nave. The south chapel features 16th-century coupled lancet windows and a separate gabled roof. The chancel has lancet windows, and the eastern bay has been extended eastwards, noted for its lack of galleting.

The simple timber south porch has a wave-chamfered south door with a stoup, which may be an earlier 12th-century opening. Inside, there is a double chamfered 14th-century tower arch on half-octagonal responds with crude head capitals. The south aisle has simple pointed western and round-headed eastern openings. The nave roof is supported by trussed rafters and tie-beams, while the aisle roof is a lean-to. The chancel is stepped in and features a blocked round-headed window to the south-west, along with a low double hollow chamfered arch leading to the southern chapel. The eastern lancets originally had shafts, and the capitals still survive. The chancel has a clasped purlin roof with moulded tie-beams.

The south chapel includes a door and steps leading to a rood loft, which has fallen into the nave. Notable fittings include a simple chamfered sedile and a triple chamfered piscina in the chancel, as well as a simple piscina in the chapel. There is a tomb recess in the south chapel and another recess in the north nave wall. The octagonal font is supported by five piers and has a 19th-century cover. The church also features 19th-century altar rails, a pulpit, and a reading desk. Stained glass includes 14th-century fragments in the north-west window of the nave.

Monuments within the church include a simple white and black aedicule in the chapel dedicated to Lawrence Banks, who died in 1830, signed by Andrews of Ashford. There is also a lugged charity board in the tower dated 1774 and early 19th-century Royal Arms in the nave.
