Parish Church Of St Mary

The parish church of St Mary is an Anglican church. The tower dates to the 15th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt in the 1866 by the architect T.H. Wyatt, incorporating some older materials. It is constructed of rubble stone for the tower, with flint and stone banding for the rest of the building. The roofs are slate, with coped gables. The church comprises a nave, chancel, north aisle, west tower, south vestry, and south porch.

The three-stage tower has a battlemented parapet and a single-light window to the belfry with hoodmoulds. A carved gargoyle is present on the west wall, along with string courses at each stage and below the west window. The west window is square-headed, featuring two trefoiled lights and a label mould. A semi-octagonal stair turret is on the north side.

The south wall of the nave contains two square-headed windows with cinquefoiled lights (one dating to the 15th century), as well as a single-light window. A pointed arched doorway leads to the porch. A 14th-century doorway with a hoodmould and a lancet window are incorporated within the south vestry wall. The south chancel wall features a two-light window with plate tracery. The east window is of three lights with geometrical tracery and a hoodmould. The north chancel wall contains a lancet window and a two-light window with plate tracery, both dating to the 13th century. The north aisle wall has two two-light windows with arched lights. A square-headed two-light window with arched lights is located in the west wall of the aisle (dating to the 16th century). A three-light square-headed window with blind spandrils is set into the north nave wall, west of the aisle (also 16th century).

Inside, the chancel has a canted wagon roof with plaster panels, moulded ribs, and a battlemented cornice. The nave roof is arch-braced with collar beams, supported by stone corbels, while the aisle roof is of the trussed rafter type with curved braces. The chancel arch is segmental pointed, with arch mouldings dying into responds. The north aisle has two bays with a central octagonal column featuring a moulded cap and two-order arches with hoodmoulds. The tower arch is 15th century and of two orders. A recess is present at ground level in the north wall of the tower, and a pointed-arched niche in the west wall of the nave, on the north side. The stone font is 19th century, octagonal, with quatrefoil panels. The pulpit and pews also date to the 19th century.
