Description
The Church of St Mary is a small church built in 1863 by J. Clarke. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with ashlar banding and dressings, topped with gabled stone slate roofs. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and consists of a nave and chancel.
On the east gable, there is a round window framed by a large cross, which features four quatrefoil lights above two trefoiled lancets, separated by a central offset buttress. The north wall of the chancel has a similar lancet and a vestry that includes an octagonal stack and two Caernarvon-arched windows. The south side has three similar lancets flanking a pointed chamfered doorway.
The nave contains four chamfered lancets on the north side and three similar lancets flanking the south porch, which has pointed chamfered doorways. The west gable features two trefoil-headed lancets and two similar lights in the belfry. Inside, there is a mid-19th century fireplace and grate in the vestry, a chamfered chancel arch, an octagonal font, and a four-bay arch-braced nave roof.
