Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a church built between 1866 and 1888 by architects W. and C.A. Bassett Smith in the Middle Pointed style. It was extended in the early 20th century. The structure is made of flint with stone dressings and features a plain tiled roof with ridge crestings. The church has a nave with aisles, a chancel with chapels, and a square tower located at the southwest corner. The tower has offset set-back buttresses and is three stages high, topped with a shingled broach spire that sits on a corbel band. The spire includes gabled louvred openings and an iron finial at the top.

Inside, the church features five bay nave arcades supported by compound piers with a lobed section. The chancel arch is bell-moulded and includes small marble columns on brackets as responds, with angel stops on the hood moulding. The chancel has three bays and a painted wood ceiling. There is an iron rood screen on marble panelled dado walls. The church also contains 20th-century fittings, including a round font on a central stem with marble angle columns.

The reredos is made of plaster and alabaster, painted and gilt, depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin, created by Sir Ninian Comper.
