Description
The Parish Church of St Mary is a church built in 1828, designed by architect T E Owen, with a chancel and organ chamber added in 1885. The church features rubble stone walls, and the nave has a low-pitched slate roof adorned with crested ridge tiles, while the chancel and organ chamber have tiled roofs. The structure includes a nave, chancel, organ chamber on the south side, and a west tower, with a small shallow transept located south of the tower.
The tower consists of three stages, complete with battlements and angle buttresses. It has plain lancet windows in the belfry and a moulded string course beneath it. The centre stage of the tower features a two-light window with Y-tracery and wide splayed jambs. Below this, there is a pointed arched entrance doorway located in the west wall. The north and south walls of the nave are punctuated by two-light windows similar to those in the tower, with buttresses positioned between them. The east wall of the chancel showcases a three-light window with Perpendicular style tracery.
Inside, the church has a low-pitched tie-beam roof supported by braces and king-posts. The chancel arch is adorned with carved caps, and there is a 13th-century font, which is octagonal on a circular pedestal and features detached shafts, originating from the old church. Most other fittings date from the 19th century, and there are a few early 19th-century wall monuments present.
