Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church that features a 14th-century tower, arcades, and chancel arch. It was restored and the remainder was rebuilt by George Edmund Street in 1857. The church is constructed from coursed rubble stone, with tiled roofs on the south porch and chancel, and copper roofs on the nave and aisles. The west tower has three stages, offset diagonal buttresses, a battlemented parapet, and 2-light Perpendicular openings in the bell chamber. There is a Perpendicular west door and a 2-light window above it. The nave includes three round clerestory windows with 19th-century tracery. The 19th-century aisles and chancel feature decorated windows under labels with carved stops, and the aisles extend to flank the tower. The south porch has a steep gable, and there is a lean-to vestry to the north of the chancel.

Inside, the west tower has tall, double chamfered arches leading to the nave and aisles. The nave, which has three bays, features arcades with two-centred chamfered arches that are continuous with the piers. The chancel arch is similarly double chamfered, with moulded caps and bases on semi-octagonal shafts. The chancel contains a pillar piscina made from a reused 12th-century shaft and capital. There are early 17th-century Flemish glass panels set in the windows, along with 19th-century glass in the east window. Other fittings are from the 19th century. Notable marble wall monuments include a plaque to Sir John Busby from 1705, featuring a bust and military trophies; a monument to Thomas Busby from 1753 by M. Rysbrack, which includes a cherub, broken column, and obelisk; and a monument to Anne Busby from around 1800 by H. Hopper of London, depicting a weeping woman and urn. Additional plaques commemorate the Busby family.
