Ruins Of St Mary'S Church

The ruins of St Mary's Church date from the 17th and 18th centuries and are constructed from coursed squared stone and ashlar, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The structure features a west tower and a nave with a south porch. The three-stage west tower, dated 1691, has a plinth and quoins. On the west side, there is a double-chamfered two-light mullioned window at the first stage, while the south side has three small chamfered one-light openings arranged one above the other. The belfry openings are round-arched and set in a plain stone surround. The tower is topped with a moulded band and an embattled parapet with plain pinnacles at each corner. The nave, which is in a ruinous state, includes a plain gabled porch that still retains its roof. It features small, single-light pointed arched openings and a chamfered priests doorway. Attached to the east of the porch is a tombstone dated around 1716 for Anthony Wood. The east end of the church has a central four-light flat-faced mullioned window with a transom, and each light has a pointed arch at the head. To the left, there is a tall two-light chamfered mullioned window with a transom, and to the right, another chamfered two-light mullioned window.
