Church Of St Mary Magdalene

The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a church dating back to the 12th century, with a north transept added around 1200. The exterior is roughcast, likely over stone rubble, with stone dressings, and has a plain tile roof. A wooden bell tower with a pyramidal roof is situated to the left. The plan consists of a nave, chancel, and north transept. A central, blocked round arched Romanesque doorway is positioned on the right-hand side with columns featuring a waterleaf capital and an uncarved capital. There are Romanesque lancet windows to the left and centre, with incised arches to the stone surrounds, and a 3-light Perpendicular window to the right, complete with end stops on the hood mould. The north side of the chancel features three Romanesque lancets, similarly with incised arches. The left return presents a central, studded, round-headed door within a three-order arch; the inner arch is plain, the central one roll-moulded, and the outer arch is decorated with scallop details. Carved capitals and star-in-square decoration on the imposts and hood are also present. A Romanesque lancet sits above the door, with further round windows to either side. The right return showcases a Romanesque lancet at the centre, with a recess below constructed from Romanesque sculpted fragments. The rear of the church features three Romanesque lancets to the nave, a blocked Romanesque doorway, a quatrefoil window to the transept, and single trefoil lancets set into the returns of the transept.

Inside, a Romanesque circular font stands with a blind arcade of spiral fluted pilasters, set upon a 19th-century columned base. A Romanesque piscina is positioned on the south wall of the chancel, featuring a moulded arch and a projecting, circular, fluted bowl. A pulpit is likely of Jacobean origin, set upon a 19th-century stone base. The chancel east window is Romanesque, with a column featuring carved capitals and zig-zag and dog tooth mouldings on the arch, and blind arched openings to the left and right. A 19th-century restoration includes a Romanesque arcade of three windows to the right side of the chancel. The church also features a Romanesque chancel arch and a 2-centred transept arch. Jumbled 17th-century Belgian stained glass is found in the quatrefoil window and lancets of the transept. A reset 16th-century brass is affixed to the transept arch.
