Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church built in 1831, with additions made in 1853, replacing a church from around 1760 that stood on the same site. It is constructed of split slate rubble and features angle buttresses, all under a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers. The church has a two-bay nave that includes a west gabled porch and an open west bellcote, along with transepts and a single-bay chancel that has a north vestry. The nave is adorned with lancet windows and triple lancet windows on the west side, while the transepts have paired lancets. The chancel features a tripartite east window. Inside, the church has an open timber roof that is consistent throughout the nave, chancel, and transepts. Notable interior elements include figurative stained glass created by H. Hughes from London in 1866, as well as white marble wall plaques commemorating Joseph Gibson of Powter Howe from 1810 and John Fisher of Jenkin Hill from 1796. There are also 19th-century commandment and pater boards, along with 20th-century furnishings and fittings.
