Description

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is an Anglican parish church built in 1866 by C. F. Hansom. It is constructed of coursed limestone with tiled roofs. The church features a tall three-and-a-half bay nave, a south aisle, a two-bay chancel with an organ chamber, a north porch, and a western bellcote. The walls include a mid wall string and a plinth table, and there are two-light Decorated style windows with carved head terminals to the hood moulds. The roofs are steeply pitched, and the north door is adorned with deeply cut fleurons in a large casement moulding.

Inside, the arcade to the aisle is supported by short marble columns on raised plinths. The roof has an open raftered arch braced collar design, resting on stone corbels and wall shafts. The vestry is partitioned off in the western half bay. The church retains its original stone pulpit and a small hexagonal font, which is deeply carved and is said to have been exhibited at the Great National Exhibition in 1851 or 1862. The font features Evangelist symbols and is supported by clustered marble columns. There are contemporary pews and chancel fittings, along with a 17th-century plain parish chest with iron-bound corners. Arms are displayed over the porch.
