Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a former parish church that now serves as a private chapel. It dates from the late 14th century and underwent significant restorations in 1830 and around 1875. The building consists of a nave and chancel, with a north vestry and a south porch. Its walls are made of rubble stone and feature large diagonal buttresses at the east and west ends, along with single buttresses on the north and south walls. The roof is slate, adorned with stone gable-copings and carved kneelers.

At the west gable, there is a 19th-century stone sanctus bell-cote that is corbelled out and includes four-centred bell-openings on both the east and west sides. The church has a crenellated parapet with notable gargoyles along the parapet string and a stone octagonal spirelet topped with a poppy-leaf finial. The structure is single-storey and features three windows along with the south porch.

The windows are 2-light, trefoil-cusped, and have panel tracery above, with labels that include intact 14th-century head-stops. The east window is particularly striking, consisting of five lights and featuring cusped panelling above, with a label that has head-stops depicting a king and a bishop. The south porch, dating from the 19th century, incorporates 14th-century jambs for the inner door. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with a slate roof and stone gable-coping, topped with an apex-cross. The porch has bracket-moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head, while the inner doorway features a pointed head and chamfered jambs.

Inside, the church is aisleless and has a pointed chancel-arch supported by two orders of responds with plain capitals and a wide hollow chamfer. All windows have rere-arches. In the chancel, there is a piscina with a cinquefoiled head, a crocketed and finialed ogee label, and an octagonal drain that projects on a short shaft with a head corbel, dating from the late 14th century. Additionally, there is a medieval head corbel that appears grimacing in the chancel, and four carved stone heads are set into the side walls immediately west of the chancel-arch, likely intended to support a former rood-beam.
