Description

The Church of St Mary is a redundant church that dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations made in the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of rubblestone and features an interlocking tile roof. The building has a four-bay nave and a single-cell chancel, with quoins present on the corners.

The nave includes a quoined round-arched south door with imposts, although the right half has been restored. To the right of the door are two windows, each consisting of two round-arched lights. At the west end, there is a 19th-century brick belfry with louvred bell-openings and a pyramidal Welsh slate roof topped with an iron finial. A cross is positioned on the east gable, and there is a later window on the north side at the east end, as well as a small segment-arched window at the west end. The chancel is lower and narrower than the nave and has traces of a former opening on the left, along with an east gable cross and an east window similar to that of the nave.

Inside, the church features a round chancel arch with imposts and four principal rafter roof trusses with curved collars in the nave. The tie-beams have groove-moulding, and one tie-beam contains a sunk panel with letters and the date 'G1702B' below a motif. On the north wall of the chancel, there is an architraved sunken panel that displays an embossed shield, flowers, and the letters and date '1585': I T A S(?). The pulpit, dating from around 1700, is panelled with a vine-trail design and has simpler top mouldings, along with knob finials on the gate posts. The lectern features a turned 17th-century baluster-like shaft on a renewed base. A circular tub font from the 12th century is set on a renewed base and is topped with a probable 17th-century cover that has ogee-shaped ribs. In the chancel, there is a chamfered stone top from a probable 14th-century tomb, which is incised with a sword.
