Description

The Church of St Mary is a Grade II* listed building, constructed in 1848 by James Stewart of Carlisle to replace a medieval church. The tower was rebuilt in 1900 after being struck by lightning in 1899. It is built from snecked calciferous sandstone and features a chamfered plinth, angle buttresses, string courses, and a decorated cornice. The roof is made of graduated green slate with a coped gable, cross finials, and kneelers.

The church includes a three-storey porch/tower on the south-west side, a three-bay nave with a north transept, and a single-bay chancel. The tower has a pointed arch entrance with a moulded surround, while pointed lancet windows with tracery heads and hood moulds are present throughout, along with recessed mullioned panels above. The tower is topped with a broach spire featuring high lucarnes and a weather vane. The nave and chancel also have pointed lancet windows with similar tracery. The east and west windows contain stained glass created in 1849 by John Scott of Carlisle.
