Description
The Church of St Mary is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1906, which incorporates fabric from a 13th-century church that previously occupied the same site. Designed by Temple Moore, it is built from limestone and sandstone ashlar with a stone slate roof, showcasing a Gothic Revival style.
The church features a single cell nave and chancel with five bays, along with a 20th-century vestry and a tower that projects from the north side. The west front displays 13th-century masonry on the lower half of the wall, with a central doorway beneath a pointed arch that has a hood-mould, flanked by two small square windows. To the left, there is a massive diagonal buttress, while a clasping buttress is positioned to the right. The gable end features 20th-century masonry with one window. The nave has two bays, with substantial 13th-century fabric overbuilt in the 20th century, and there is a reset 16th-century window on the north side.
The tower consists of two stages with angle buttresses, displaying Early English features and topped with a broach spire. The chancel is adorned with a three-light window featuring curvilinear tracery.
