Description

The Church of St Mary is a parish church built in 1833 by Edmund Pearce on a new site in Mosterton Village. The structure includes a west tower, nave, north porch, and chancel, featuring ashlar stone walls with corrugated asbestos and tile roofs, along with stone gable-copings.

The west tower has three stages and is supported by clasping buttresses on the lower two stages. It features a pointed arch west door with a label that has crude head-stops, a three-light west window with the same label, and single-light bell-openings topped with a label. A string cornice and plain parapet complete the tower's design. The nave consists of four bays with right-angle buttresses, single lancet windows with labels, and a north door at the center of the north side, which has a moulded surround and a two-leaf pointed door with recessed panels. The stone porch includes stone seats, a pitched slate roof, and stone gable-coping.

Inside, there is a pointed arch leading into the tower, plain splays to the lancets, and lozenge-leading. Short wall-shafts rest on head-stops, and the ceiling is canted. The chancel arch is pointed with a straight chamfer that is stopped, and the short chancel features a three-light east window with lancets. Notable fittings include a wooden gallery at the west end supported by four reeded columns and 20th-century stained glass in the east window depicting the Risen Christ over the agricultural community, including a combine harvester and a tractor ploughing.
