Former Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The former Church of St Mary the Virgin, now a warehouse, was built between 1870 and 1881 by architect J.P. St Aubyn. It features squared Red Pennant rubble with limestone dressings, ashlar stacks, and a tiled roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The building has a cruciform plan, which includes a northwest chapel that was constructed where a tower was originally proposed, along with a chancel and an aisled nave. It is designed in the Decorated Gothic Revival style.

The east gable is tall and coped, showcasing a large five-light window with Decorated tracery and angle buttresses. The north elevation has a four-light transom window, while the four-bay nave is characterized by two-light windows separated by buttresses and short three-light clerestory windows. The chapel in the west bay features deep, truncated buttresses and an arched doorway with four orders and a blind traceried tympanum. There is also a late 20th-century tall garage doorway with a flat rubble arch in the third bay.

The south elevation mirrors the north, with flying buttresses extending from the south transept across open arched doorways, and pairs of triple lancets beneath the aisle windows. The west end has a deep two-centred arched doorway with five orders set within a shallow gable between two buttresses. This doorway includes a trumeau with a banded granite shaft, two shouldered doorways with strap hinges, and a blank tympanum. Above this is a large twelve-light wheel window topped with a gable finial.

Inside, the chancel features encaustic tiles and marble steps, with pointed arches leading to the transepts and a large chancel arch. The four-bay nave has short round shafts supporting moulded, pointed arches and a raised floor. The roof is a crown-post double rafter design with two tiers of wind bracing and inverted cone corbels. A steel-framed first floor was inserted in the nave during the 20th century.
