Church Of St Mungo

The Church of St Mungo is a parish church that dates from the 12th to the 14th centuries, with restorations carried out in 1861-1862, 1893-1894, and 1926. It is built from coursed red sandstone rubble and has a sandstone slate roof featuring coped gables and cross finials. The church consists of a 2-bay nave with a north aisle, a south porch, a north vestry, and a gabled twin west bellcote, along with a medieval east bellcote for the angelus bell. The chancel is also 2-bay and includes side chapels and a lean-to north hearse house, which is unusually attached to the church.

The nave contains one south trefoil-headed window, while the other windows are 19th century and consist of two lights. There is an old studded plank door beneath a reused zigzag Norman arch within the 19th-century porch. The chancel features a priest's door and a 15th-century two-light window with a double-chamfered surround, as well as a 19th-century three-light east window. The south chapel has a unique bar-tracery 13th-century two-light window, although the chapel itself is believed to have been built in 1395. The north chapel has a 19th-century window.

Inside the porch, there are 11 fragments of medieval crosses and graveslabs. The nave features a three-bay arcade supported by round columns with vertical strips, and there are four medieval graveslabs attached to the west wall. The 12th-century font is set on a hexagonal stem, and the 19th-century pews are marked as FREE. The chancel arch is transitional and supported by responds with corbels, and there is a piscina in the south wall. The church also contains a 19th-century carved communion rail and altar screen, with aumbrys flanking the altar.

Various 18th-century and 19th-century wall plaques are present, including one in a recess dedicated to Reverend Richard Garth from 1673, which features a long inscription, and another recess that holds a marble sculpture of the twin sons of George Dixon from 1838. The south St George's Chapel was originally a chantry chapel that was suppressed in 1546, left roofless from 1753, and walled off from the chancel, but it was restored as a memorial for the 1914-1918 war. There are also 18th-century Royal arms and various wall plaques from the 18th and 19th centuries. The north Lady Chapel, now known as Crookdake Chapel, has a recessed graveslab for Adam de Crookdake from 1304, which is under a later inscription, along with 19th-century wall plaques commemorating members of the Ballantine-Dykes family.
