Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a redundant parish church dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, with alterations made in the 14th and 15th centuries, and restoration completed in 1868-1869. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone, featuring a chamfered plinth and diagonal off-set buttresses, topped with old tile roofs.

On the north side of the nave, there is a slight projection at the west end, which includes a large single light window, mostly from the 19th century, and a restored 15th-century two-light window with tracery. The central entrance is framed by a two-centred chamfered arch and a rebuilt porch, which retains an old cusped light on each side. The south side of the nave has a four-light cusped window with a flat head. At the west end of the ridge, there is a small square bell-cote, rendered, with gables on each side.

The chancel windows have also been significantly restored, with the north and east walls each featuring a cusped single light. The south side includes one similar window, a two-light window with ogee tracery and a flat head, as well as a doorway with a two-centred chamfered arch.

Inside, there is an early 14th-century chancel arch that is slightly four-centred and double chamfered, supported by semi-octagonal piers with moulded capitals, each adorned with four ball-flower motifs. The nave boasts a fine 15th-century roof featuring queen posts, curved braces to the collar, and curved wind-braces. A piscina basin is located in the south window-sill of the chancel, along with one locker recess. The circular font, likely from the 13th century, has a tapering basin on a plain stem and has been re-cut. There are also two memorial tablets from the late 18th and 19th centuries.
