Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a redundant parish church that has been converted into a private chapel. It has origins dating back to the 14th century, with alterations made in the late 14th or early 15th century, a porch and south chapel added in the 16th century, and a chancel and north chapel from the 18th century, along with further modifications. The building is constructed from flint and squared rubble with ashlar dressings, topped with tiled roofs featuring stone-slate margins. The layout includes a nave, a short chancel, and north and south transeptal chapels, along with a south porch that has a bell chamber above. The windows primarily consist of two or three trefoiled lights with Perpendicular tracery, and there is a 20th-century gallery window in the apex of the west gable. The bell chamber features a single trefoiled opening, while the porch has a chamfered circular arch with continuous jambs.

Inside, notable features include an 18th-century semi-circular chancel arch with moulded imposts. The transept arches are chamfered and semi-circular, with moulded imposts and chamfered jambs; the south arch is from the 16th century, while the north arch is an 18th-century copy. There is a polygonal 17th-century timber pulpit with moulded panelling below and chip-carved panelling above, topped with a carved cornice that includes an integral reading desk. The 19th-century seating incorporates some 17th-century timberwork, and the ceilings are plastered barrel vaults, likely from the 18th century. An early 19th-century gallery features a panelled and moulded front, and there is an octagonal stone font on an octagonal pier decorated with quatrefoils, dated 1868. The church also has late 18th-century turned communion rails, reset medieval floor tiles with slip decoration, and a baroque monument dated 1788 to Radford and Thomas Gundry, which includes skull and crossbones and scrolled cheek pieces, marking a late example of this style of monument.
