Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is an Anglican parish church dating back to the 13th century, with significant rebuilding in the 19th and 20th centuries. The 1848 reconstruction was undertaken by S. Sage of Swindon. The church is constructed of rubble Swindon stone with limestone dressings, and has a stone slate roof with a concrete slate inner pitch. The original medieval layout included a central tower and south aisle, which were incorporated into a widened nave in 1848. A parallel north nave was added in 1848, and a north chancel extension in the 20th century. The church also features a west tower and a south porch.

The nave showcases 3-light windows with 4-centred heads and casement mouldings. The chancel chapel has 3-light square-headed windows, while the east end features triple lancet windows from the 13th century. The north side of the church has four windows in the Perpendicular style. The west tower has a 4-light window above a deeply moulded door, all dating to the 19th century. It is topped by crenellated parapets, pinnacles, and louvred bellstage openings. The south porch has a door with 13th-century nail-headed nookshafts supporting a low, pointed segmental arch with two hollow chamfers, along with trefoiled side lights and a niche over the door. The north chancel extension has glazed concrete honeycomb blocks designed by Burrough and Hannam.

Inside, the south arcade was likely removed in the 19th century, and the nave and south aisle were roofed as a single space. The nave roof is an open waggon roof with carved bosses. The north nave features a 4-bay arcade of octagonal columns and chamfer arches, independently roofed in a similar style but without bosses. A raked west gallery is constructed from exposed concrete, with a honeycomb concrete balustrade. The north chancel chapel has a tapered lintel on a concrete column and concrete joists supporting a flat ceiling, with a shouldered door and a reset 2-light east window. A simple double piscina is also present. The church also includes a 19th-century pulpit and font. Fragments of 14th-15th century glass remain in the heads of the south nave windows. A timber vault covers the tower.

A number of monuments are present, including those to Arthur Evans (1762), Simon Wayte (1807, by Reeves of Bath), William Holcroft (1621), Rev. Arthur Evans (1789, by King of Bath) and Katherine Evans (1810, by King of Bath). A memorial to the family of Nataniel and Ann Edwards (1802-4) is also found. Externally on the tower's north face is a probable window-head from the 9th or 10th century, depicting a simple tree form, and on the west wall of the north nave, a section of a simple interlaced cross shaft.
