Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church that features a transitional south chapel, a 14th-century chancel, and a west tower dating from the 15th to 16th centuries, along with alterations to the nave. The church also includes a 19th-century north aisle, vestry, and south porch. It underwent significant restoration by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1871. The building is constructed of rubble stone, with large coursed blocks used for the tower and chancel. The nave has a lead roof, while the rest of the church is tiled.

The tower, which has three stages, is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a battlemented parapet and paired lights in the bell chamber. The west side includes a moulded four-centred arch leading to the door and a three-light cusped window with a four-centred head. The second stage on the north side has a single light. The nave has a plain parapet, a lancet window on the west side of the north, a two-light window with Y tracery on the south side, and a clerestory with two three-light windows on the south. The south door has a two-centred chamfered arch and a gabled timber porch. The south chapel contains lancet windows, with one on the west and two on the south and east. The north aisle features three bays of two-light windows with Y tracery and a re-used 16th-century doorway with a four-centred arch and carved spandrels. The chancel has restored Decorated windows, including two two-light windows on the south, one on the north, and a three-light window on the east.

Inside, there is a double chamfered tower arch and a 19th-century north arcade with chamfered arches on octagonal piers. The south arcade has one transitional arch, square cut with outer zig-zag moulding and moulded imposts. To the east of this arch is a 15th-century arched opening with carved head stops on the hoodmould. The south chapel includes a 13th-century piscina and steps leading to a rood-loft. The nave roof retains original moulded purlins and a ridge. The chancel arch is steeply pointed and double chamfered, with the inner order resting on corbels adorned with carved winged figures. The chancel also features a two-light traceried window leading to the vestry and a 19th-century piscina.

Fittings include a much-restored 15th-century octagonal font, a 17th-century communion table in the south chapel, glass in the east window dating from 1887, and other 19th-century fittings. There is also an 18th-century marble wall monument in the nave, flanked by Doric pilasters and side scrolls, topped with a crest of urns and a shield.
