Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a church built in 1831 by architects J Thompson and G Taylor, with restoration and extension work completed in 1889-90 by Smith, Brodrick and Lowther. It features tooled sandstone on a chamfered plinth, with sandstone ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The church has a west bellcote, a five-bay nave, a continuous chancel, a north chapel and organ chamber, and a south vestry.

The west facade includes a pointed two-light window with Perpendicular-style tracery. The gabled bellcote has three square-headed openings beneath Tudor-arched corbelled hoodmoulds. The north wall of the nave features a Tudor-arched doorway and a three-light Perpendicular-style window to the east. An extension to the east has two cusped lancets in square-headed surrounds. The south side extension mirrors the north side and partially obscures a blocked pointed opening. The west return also contains a Tudor-arched doorway. The south wall of the nave has a three-light Perpendicular-style window, while the east window consists of five lights with Perpendicular-style tracery. The east ends of the flanking extensions have single cusped lancets in square-headed surrounds. All openings are double chamfered, with those on the nave featuring cavetto and ovolo moulding. The gables are coped, and the extensions have catslide roofs, with gable crosses on the bellcote and east end.

Inside, the chapel and organ chamber are separated by an arcade of two double-chamfered two-centred arches on one octagonal pier and corbelled responds. The south wall of the chancel contains a marble monument to William Bower and his wife Priscilla, dated 1704. This monument features a tablet between palm volutes and is topped by a swan-necked pediment broken by an urn, inscribed with the words: "They live well, who love well and They die well, who live well." Additionally, there is a war memorial tablet by Eric Gill.
