Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a chapel of ease, built around 1675. It is constructed primarily of sandstone, with rubble plinths and a north side, and ashlar to the remaining walls, featuring gritstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building comprises a three-storey west tower, a single-bay nave and chancel. The architectural style is a Gothic survival.

The south wall features a chamfered offset to the plinth, and windows with two ogee-headed lights and hood moulds, one to the left of the door and three to the right. A round-arched doorway has impost capitals, the arris moulded and stopped, with a hood mould, and is accompanied by chamfered kneelers and ashlar coping with a base for a finial to the right. The east window is of three lights, the central one taller, set in a segmental-arched opening with torus imposts, a keystone interrupting the hood mould, and jewelled spandrels. The north side has no openings. The tower has a chamfered and ogee-headed single-light, louvred belfry opening on each side, with a single-light west window and clock faces on the west and south sides. A bench mark is present on the west side, and the pyramidal roof is surmounted by a weather vane dated 1923. A small 19th-century heating chamber has been incorporated into the angle between the tower and the nave on the north side.

Inside, the windows are hollow chamfered. A chamfered round arch leads to the tower, now blocked by a screen made from reused 17th-century panelling which includes a fanlight of old glass. The roof features moulded tie-beams carried on wall posts with brackets. The interior contains 17th-century furnishings, including stalls and benches with moulded stiles and paired knob finials, and a reading desk inscribed 'PRAISE THE LORD O IERVSALEM'. An octagonal pulpit features bolection frames to the panels, a stem to the tester inscribed 'FEED MY LAMBES' and dated 1678. The tester has a garlanded frieze with pediments above and pendant knobs below, and ogee ribs to the open canopy. The altar rail has central gates with turned balusters and a swept top rail, flanked by boarded panels surmounted by ogee-traceried lights under swept top rails, complete with finials. An octagonal font sits on a chamfered stem. A William and Mary royal coat of arms dated 1689 is also present. The bells are dated 1677, believed to be contemporary with the tower's completion.
