Church of St Mary

II

Church. 1862. E B Lamb. Stone. Slate roof. Cruciform but with centralised emphasis created by the spacious crossing which incorporates the short transepts and is of greater width than the aisleless nave and tiny chancel. South porch. The exterior is dominated by the complex roof arrangements:- the pyramidal roof of the crossing, starting at a lower level to accommodate the wider span, is cut by the transepts rising through it and truncated by a turret with spirelet. Interior:- wooden roof to nave and chancel with transverse arches on stone corbels, collars and purlins. Complex crossing roof structure of intersecting arches, leaving room only for pairs of tiny quatrefoil lights set into each corner of the crossing. The other windows are 3-light with trefoil heads and simple tracery under pointed arches with the exception of the low flat-arched nave windows.
