Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is an Anglican parish church dating back to the 13th century, with alterations in the 15th century. It was heavily restored and largely rebuilt in 1858 by Manners and Gill of Bath, with a later north transept added in 1891 and a vestry in 1891. The church consists of a west tower, a nave with a north transept, a south porch, and a chancel with a north aisle and vestry. It is constructed from coursed squared rubble with ashlar and freestone dressings, featuring a plain tiled roof over the chancel and a slate roof to the nave, all set behind an embattled parapet.

The west tower, the most substantial medieval element, has three stages with offsets on the north and south sides, and two stages to the west. It is topped with a saddleback roof set back behind a plain parapet, and incorporates a 3-light 19th-century Perpendicular style window and a 2-light bell chamber window with lattice tracery. The nave has a 3-light 19th-century Perpendicular style window, and a decorative lead hopper dated 1628, originally from the old manor. A buttress is present at the east end. The projecting gabled south porch has a chamfered outer doorway. The chancel features a rood stair projection, two 2-light 19th-century Perpendicular style windows, a central priest's door, and a 19th-century 3-light east window with reticulated tracery. Perpendicular style windows are found in the north transept and chapel.

The interior is largely from the mid-to-late 19th century. A wave and hollow moulded arch connects to the north transept and chapel. The pulpit is 19th-century, in a Perpendicular style. The font, dated 1866, is made of marble with a square top, relief panels on columns with foliate heads. The north transept window contains Flemish roundels depicting Tobit greeting Tobias, St. Peter holding keys and a book, the Good Samaritan, and a nun, along with a shield emblazoned with a heart. The central panel portrays the Taking of Christ, dating back to the early 14th century, with an ogee arch featuring heads of David and Solomon in the spandrels. Outer panels display the arms of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, likely early-to-mid 19th-century copies. A nave window on the south side contains a nimbed head of a man and two small shields of arms dated 1558, with a helm and mantling.

Monuments include a memorial to William Bassett, who died in 1613, featuring frontal half-figures of Bassett and his wife with a baby, using coloured marbles, Corinthian pilasters, and arms in pedimental fields. A memorial to Richard Graves, who died in 1804 and designed by T. King of Bath, is a marble inscribed plaque with a draped urn. James Clutterbuck, who died in 1776, is commemorated by an inscribed marble tablet, depicting a draped woman on an urn within an aedicular surround. William Skrine, who died in 1725, has an inscribed marble tablet within an aedicular surround with a segmental head. A Hedges funeral hatchment is in the nave, and a monument to Thomas Hedges, who died in 1798, is located in the Tower.
