Description
The Church of St. Mary is a church built in 1862 by Messrs Francis. It features rubblestone construction with coursed stone on the tower and plain tiled roofs. The layout includes a nave and aisle, an apsed chancel to the east, a chapel to the south, and a tower at the north-west corner, which is connected to the west end of the church by a short corridor. There is also a vestry addition to the south-east. The west end has three gables, and the nave is buttressed with two-light windows that have deep tracery.
The square tower has three stages and a turret at the north-east corner. The ground floor of the tower is open, featuring a pointed arch over the opening and a depressed crocketed ogee relieving arch above. Each face of the top stage has two stone-dressed, two-light bell openings set in ogee surrounds, and the tower is topped with battlements and angle gargoyles.
Inside, the church has a five-bay nave arcade supported by compound piers with a quatrefoil section, and a timber scissor-braced roof. The apse is decorated with mosaics, and the chancel floor is tiled with marble dado panelling below. The fittings include early 20th-century pews and a screen, a stone arched pulpit with arcading, and an octagonal font.
