Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a church dating to the late 13th century, with a north aisle constructed around 1360 and a south aisle also from the late 13th century. It was restored in the 1840s and 1860s. The church is built of coursed limestone rubble with a stone-coped gabled roof of Welsh slate. The church consists of a chancel and an aisled nave.

The chancel has a mid-19th century Geometrical-style three-light east window. A label mould sits over a 15th-century two-light window, and a mid-19th century buttress is present to the north. A mid-19th century lancet window and a label mould are above the late 13th century chamfered pointed-arched doorway on the south side. The north aisle has a 14th-century hood mould over a three-light Perpendicular window to the east, alongside a 15th-century two-light window and a mid-19th century buttress on the north side. The south aisle features a late 13th century three-light window with intersecting tracery to the east, a 14th-century two-light window restored with a mid-19th century head, a mid-19th century buttress, and a mid-19th century pointed-arched moulded doorway. The west gable contains an early 14th century bellcote with two pointed-arched openings and an early 14th century two-light Decorated window.

Inside, the church has a mid-19th century marble reredos. The east window is flanked by two medieval corbels, one to the north with a stand for a statue. Further interior features include a mid-19th century piscina and benches; the backs of the benches have 17th-century panels with scribed lozenges, and a mid-19th century two-bay king-post roof. A 14th-century double-chamfered chancel arch is present. The nave has a mid-19th century pulpit with linenfold panels and a mid-19th century arch-braced tie beam roof. A late 13th century two-bay south arcade has double-chamfered arches and moulded imposts. The similar mid-14th century north arcade has a capital featuring figures with interlaced arms. Mid-19th century roofs cover the aisles. The north aisle houses a reset 12th-century tub font and a mid-14th century piscina supported on a head corbel to the south-east. The pews are mid-19th century, with some 16th-century carved bench ends, and a screen to the west end of the nave is made of 17th-century panelling. Monuments include a wall tablet to Catherine Benson, who died in 1839, in the chancel, and a wall tablet to Thomas Goodall, who died in 1820, in the nave. The south aisle holds an oval wall tablet to John Blake, who died in 1798, and a monument to Christopher Tilson, who died in 1742, by Peter Scheemakers, featuring an urn on a grey marble pyramid set on a large sarcophagus. In the north aisle, there is an early 14th century effigy of a Knight in the north wall, and a chamfered pointed-arched tomb recess in the north wall. An effigy of a woman is set into a crocketed ogee canopy flanked by crocketed niches above angels holding shields, with cinquefoiled panel tracery to the frieze. Stained glass includes early 15th century tracery lights in the north chancel window, and windows by Wailes dating from 1844 in the north aisle.
