Description

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church built in 1867 by G.E. Street. It features a coursed rubble stone exterior with stone dressings, coped gables, and tiled roofs. Inside, the church is lined with pale red and yellow brick, complemented by some stone dressings. The layout includes a nave, short narrow aisles, and a chancel, all designed in an austere style with plate tracery.

The nave has a moulded sill course and uncusped traceried windows, with a three-light window to the west and two bays of two-light windows on the north and south sides. A central bellcote is topped with a pyramidal tile roof and a cast iron cross. There is one clerestory window on the south side, featuring a four-light cusped wooden window in a gabled dormer. The south door has a chamfered arch within a gabled porch.

To the east of the porch, the south aisle contains two small quatrefoil windows and a two-light window with cusped tracery at the eastern end. The north aisle has similar two-light windows at both the eastern and western ends, and both aisles share the same roof pitch as the nave. The chancel is supported by offset buttresses and has windows with cusped tracery, including a two-light window on the south and a three-light window on the east.

Inside, the church features unmoulded arches on circular piers with simply shaped caps; the north arcade consists of three bays while the south arcade has two bays. The chancel arch mirrors this design but includes attached shafts. The church also contains contemporary fittings such as a stone pulpit, a low stone screen, and an octofoil font, along with mid-20th century glass in the east window.
