Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church with a west tower dating to the 14th century and a chancel from the 15th century. A south aisle and porch were added in 1837, a north aisle and transept in 1862, and a vestry in 1908. The church is constructed of rubble, with bands of flint, chequerwork flint and ashlar, and ashlar dressings, and has slated and tiled roofs with end stone copings.

The church's design is primarily in the Perpendicular style, with both medieval and 19th-century elements. The west tower is three-stage, embattled, and unbuttressed, with moulded strings. It features a 19th-century south door with a chamfered, four-centred head, a west window of two pointed lights, and single-light belfry windows with chamfered, pointed heads. The south aisle windows are pointed, of two lights, with labels featuring carved foliage stops. The chancel south wall has an original two-light square-headed window with a stopped label to the west, and a 19th-century single light window with a carved stopped label. A central, blocked, pointed chamfered door is also present. East chancel and north transept windows are 19th-century, pointed, of three lights, with carved foliage labels. The vestry has two-light, square-headed windows and a pointed, chamfered door. The north aisle has two trefoiled lancets and a two-light perpendicular west window. The gabled porch features a chamfered, pointed arch and a label with carved stops, and the south door is pointed and moulded with continuous jambs.

Inside, the south arcade has three bays with pointed, moulded arches, round columns with moulded capitals and bases. The north aisle arcade is similar, with two bays and simpler mouldings. A pointed transept arch is supported by respond piers. The pointed chancel arch has two chamfered orders springing from corbels, and the pointed tower arch has two chamfered orders. The nave and south aisle have plastered waggon roofs. The chancel has a ribbed waggon roof, and the transept has a collar-truss roof. Furnishings include a 19th-century carved wooden reredos with ogee-headed niches, communion rails with carved vine scrollwork, an ogee-headed trefoil piscina, a 19th-century open traceried pulpit, fielded panel pews, possibly incorporating 18th-century woodwork, a 19th-century octagonal font with quatrefoils and trefoiled panels, and various 17th, 18th, and 19th-century monuments, including one from 1758 commemorating Francis Cartwright, the architect.
