Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is an Anglican parish church with origins likely dating back to the 13th century, featuring alterations and additions from the 15th century. It underwent extensive restoration in 1871 by T.H. Wyatt. The building is constructed from squared and dressed stone for the tower and some sections of the nave, chancel, and north aisle, while the remainder is made of coursed rubble. It has stone slate roofs with ashlar copings and ashlar dressings around the window surrounds.

The church comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, north aisle that includes a transept and vestry, and a south porch. On the south side of the nave, there is one single-light window and one three-light window in the style of the 13th century, both from the 19th century, featuring trefoil-cusped heads and square-headed dripstones. The chancel contains two similar 19th-century windows and a 13th-century style east window with face stops to the hoodmould. The north aisle has one single-light window, one two-light Perpendicular style window, and a similar three-light 19th-century window at the east end.

The 15th-century tower has two stages, with moulded string courses and an embattled parapet adorned with corner pinnacles. It features a three-light Perpendicular window on the west face and two-light bell openings with pierced quatrefoil patterns, as well as a sundial on the south face. The south porch, added in the 19th century, has a gabled roof and a pointed-headed doorway with a plank door.

Inside, the nave features a coved ribbed vault and a multi-chamfered chancel arch dating from the late 13th to early 14th century. The chancel has a 19th-century open rafter roof with arched trusses, while the aisle also has a 19th-century open rafter roof. Notable fittings include a circular 13th-century font with trefoil arches on stem shafts, a 19th-century pulpit with reset Jacobean panels, an 1805 brass candelabra and sconces, an 1844 benefactions board located under the tower, and a c1873 three-light stained glass window depicting the three Maries by Morris & Co. on the south wall. The chancel features a Hardwicke wall monument and an Italian marble reredos from around 1875.
