Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary was built in 1879 by George Edmund Street, with a western extension added in 1966 by James E. Ralph. It is constructed of snecked Holbury Hill sandstone with Bathstone ashlar dressings, featuring plain tiled roofs, a wood shingled bellcote, and a brooch spire to the west end. The church is situated on a prominent hillside.

The design is Early English style, with the nave and chancel under a continuous roof, and aisles having a catslide roofline. The east end features a two-storey chancel with a chancel chapel to the north and vestries beneath. The bellcote has four cusped and arched, louvred openings. The church has trefoil-headed arched windows in the aisle walls and a six-lobed roundel window on the north side of the north chancel chapel. The chapel's first floor has two three-light windows with ribbed cusped tracery, while below are two trefoil-head windows flanked by diagonal buttresses. The chancel has trefoil-head two-light windows, and the east window is a complex five-light design with a roundel. A cusped arched niche is set into the south wall of the chancel, featuring buttress piers and a crocketed gable above a chest tomb dedicated to the second Mrs Street. The niche displays a quatrefoil band, recessed panelled sides, and a cross with floral decoration. A buttressed sloping roof transept block extends from the south wall, with a rounded buttress to the west end. A depressed three-step arch leads to the basement stairway of the north vestry door. The main door, located in the south west corner, is within a ribbed and bolted stone porch recess with a chamfered arched entrance, approached by six steps, and it has a panelled and planked door with strapwork hinges.

The interior includes a glazed screen dividing a narthex in the west end. The nave has a three-bay crown post roof with pentice roofs to the aisles. A nave arcade is constructed of octagonal grey Pennant stone with marble shafts, and a coved rood screen features cusped tracery. The Holy Spirit chapel to the north is accessed by a flight of steps. The chancel has a cusped windbrace panelled roof, and contains vivid stained glass by Clayton and Bell, based on designs by G.E. Street. Fittings include a painted and panelled pulpit, an octagonal stone font on a four-lobed stem, and an organ from 1881 by T. Lewis, accompanied by an oak screen with a carving of St Cecilia, designed by Arthur Street. A piscina and sedilia are also present in the chancel.

A reredos in the chancel depicts the Infant Saviour and Virgin, attributed to Spinello Aretino, and was donated by G.E. Street. The north wall of the north chapel displays a framed painting, possibly by Jacopo de Sellaio. A Limoges enamel crucifix from the 12th century was also given by Street. A roundel by Luca della Robbia, depicting a Madonna and Child in majolica work, is located in the narthex and was donated by J.R. Clayton of Clayton and Bell.
