Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church with origins and fabric dating back to the 12th century. It features an early 13th-century chancel and underwent remodelling in the 15th and early 16th centuries for the nave. The chancel is built from rubble, while the rest of the church is primarily constructed of ashlar stone on a plinth, topped with a Cotswold stone roof and a coped gable. The church has a plain rectangular nave with three bays, a two-bay chancel, and a gabled south porch. A bellcote housing two bells is situated on the west gable.

The chancel has round-headed lancet windows, including a lowside window on the south side, and a three-light lancet-type east window. The nave features a three-light flat-headed window from around 1500 on the south side, complete with a moulded surround and label. The early 15th-century porch is supported by diagonal buttresses and has an original trussed rafter roof that protects a Norman doorway. This doorway is adorned with a chevron outer order and a flat, keeled roll, with a defaced tympanum and volute caps on the nook shafts.

Inside, the nave has arch-braced collar trusses from the 15th century, with plastered walls that may include wall shafts. The Norman chancel arch displays an outer order of hollow chevron and an inner order resting on scalloped corbel caps. The chancel contains a pillar piscina linked to a sedile, along with an aumbry in the east wall. The east window, which may have been restored, features a rere-arcade and Purbeck shafts. A marble wall monument commemorates the Rev Henry Brown, who died in 1795, created by C Peart of London, featuring an oval cartouche with an urn and drapes. The font is an octagonal chalice type from the 15th century, decorated with tracery panelling.
