Description

The Church of St Mary is a Grade II listed building constructed in 1846 by George Fowler Jones. It is built from magnesian limestone ashlar with sandstone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The church has a north porch, a four-bay nave, and a two-bay chancel, with an octagonal vestry to the north and an additional vestry to the south, all designed in the Gothic Revival style.

On the north side, there is a plinth, and the porch located at the second bay has a pointed arch supported by colonnettes, with a roll moulding under a hoodmould. The entrance features a long-panel door set in a chamfered surround. The nave is articulated by buttresses and includes trefoiled lancets throughout, along with an eaves band. The chancel's north vestry has angle buttresses and lancet windows, topped with a pyramidal roof. The south vestry features a pointed doorway under a hoodmould, flanked by two- and three-light trefoil-headed windows, with a cusped quatrefoil above the door.

At the west end, there is a long-panel pointed doorway between colonnettes that support a roll moulding under a hoodmould, accompanied by tall trefoiled lancets and a central rose window below the bell turret. The east end showcases three tall stepped trefoiled lancets and a trefoil window in the gable, with ashlar coping. Inside, the church has whitewashed walls and a painted braced collar roof.
