Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a 14th-century church, significantly restored in 1880 by Gordon M. Hills. It is constructed of rubble stone, with some areas of coursed stone and rendered walls, featuring angle quoins. The roof is tiled, with Horsham slabs along the eaves of the chancel, and incorporates a shingled bellcote and a broach spire topped with an iron finial. The church comprises a nave with a north aisle, a gabled south porch, a west bellcote, and a chancel with an east vestry. The south side of the nave has one 14th-century window, while two square headed Perpendicular style windows are set in deep reveals elsewhere; the remaining windows are restored or replacements. The porch has timber-framed walls and leaded windows, with a 19th-century door set within a moulded stone surround.

Inside, the church features a tiled floor and a four-bay north aisle arcade with round piers, moulded capitals, and corbelled arches. The roof is an open timber structure with a billeted wall plate and three tie beams; the western tie beam is braced with posts supporting the bellcote. A 19th-century chancel arch leads to a two-bay chancel.

The church contains a late 19th-century panelled and arcaded pulpit and a Perpendicular style rood screen, now positioned across the west end and featuring narrow trefoil head bays. There's also an octagonal stone font with decorated panels on a short stem.

Several monuments are present. On the north chancel wall is a monument to John Goowine (died 1618), which is painted wood imitating stone, with a strapwork crest displaying a coat of arms. It is flanked by obelisks topped with sphere and spike finials, and features double arches containing kneeling figures facing each other. A monument to Ralph Hope (died 1681) is a black stone panel with a veined marble surround and a broken pediment, which displays a coat of arms cartouche. An additional inscription panel is dedicated to John and Sarah Seale (died 1777), with rosette decoration and brackets. Significant original colouring remains on the Goowine monument.
