Description

The Church of St Mary is a parish church built in 1885 on a medieval site, with a tower added between 1905 and 1907. It is constructed from quarry-faced pink St Bees sandstone, featuring calciferous sandstone quoins and red sandstone dressings. The roof is made of graduated Welsh slate and has coped gables topped with a cross finial. The church has a six-bay nave, a square three-storey west tower, and a four-bay chancel that includes a north vestry.

The tower and porch feature a roll-moulded west doorway, two-light Tudor-style windows on the ground floor, and three-light Tudor bell openings. The parapet is corbelled and battlemented, with angle water spouts. Both the nave and chancel are adorned with Y-tracery windows. Inside the porch, there is a 14th-century octagonal font with a later incised date of 1634, as well as the Royal Arms dated 1810. The reused 12th-century tower arch is notable, and the nave contains two medieval graveslabs set into the north wall. The church features an open timber roof and has late 19th-century and early 20th-century stained glass. Additionally, there is a fragment of a 10th-century cross.
