Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a church built between 1840 and 1842 by architect Salvin, with remodels completed by C Hodgson Fowler in 1885-1886. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and incorporates some re-used Medieval materials in its tower, topped with a Westmorland slate roof. The church features a 5-bay nave with a tower on the south side that includes a porch, and a vestry on the north side, along with a 2-bay chancel that has an organ chamber to the north.

The west facade has a 2-light window with Perpendicular tracery and a quatrefoil window above it. The westernmost windows of the nave are designed in the Decorated style, while all other windows are 3-light with Perpendicular tracery, except for a single-light, trefoil-headed window located in the fifth bay on the south side. The tower is three stages high, featuring a pointed doorway on the south side and a single lancet window above. It has paired belfry openings and a broach spire. The chancel windows also display Perpendicular tracery.

Inside, there is a notable monument to Deborah Read, who died in 1794. This monument consists of a white marble tablet set against a black marble background, resting on a fluted shelf supported by consoles. A decorative frieze features a pedestal and urn, and the monument was created by I Fisher of York.
