Description
The Church of St Mary is a parish church that dates back to the 13th century, with a west tower added in the early 18th century. It underwent significant restoration in 1881 by the architect G E Street. The church features a chancel with a north vestry, a nave consisting of three bays, a wide north aisle, and a narrow south aisle that extends south of the west tower, along with a south porch. The walls are constructed of flint with stone dressings, and the windows are mainly coupled in the Perpendicular style, with the east window consisting of three lights that include older elements. The tower is made of brickwork in Flemish bond with blue headers. The roof, which was repaired in 1985, is tiled and has a triple pile design across the nave and aisles.
Inside, the church has a Victorian interior, featuring a taller south arcade in late-Perpendicular style. Notably, at the east end of the north aisle, there is a pointed arch supported by Norman half columns, which is a remnant of the old church. The interior also includes a stone pulpit, an octagonal font, a few small wall monuments from the mid-19th century, and an oil painting of the Crucifixion from the Italian School located above the south door.
