Church Of St Mary Magdalene

The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a parish church with a chancel dating from the 13th century and the remainder built in the 19th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Doulting stone dressings. The chancel and south porch have stone slates, while the rest of the building features Welsh slates, all topped with coped gables. The church has a two-cell plan consisting of a chancel with two bays and a nave also with two bays, along with a west tower and south porch.

The chancel is simple, featuring a single plain lancet window in the east wall and two in the north wall. The south wall has two cusped lancets, likely from the 19th century, flanking a simple pointed arched doorway. The nave was rebuilt in 1800 and extended northwards around 1840. It has a slight plinth, a later buttress at the southeast corner, and angled corner and bay buttresses on the north side. The north wall includes two 'Y'-traceried two-light windows, with a lean-to structure against the east wall and a blank west wall. On the south side, there is a three-light late 19th-century traceried window and a simple south porch, which features an obelisk finial on its stepped coping and plain segmental arched doorways, with the inner door appearing to be older.

The tower is very simple and may date from the early 20th century. It has three stages marked only by slight chamfered offsets, with a plain semi-circular arched doorway on the south side and a semi-circular arched window on the west. There are slit windows on all sides except the east face of the second stage, and in the third stage, there are plain two-opening windows with simple mullions and flat heads on all faces. The tower is topped with a battlemented parapet and features a northeast stair turret that is square in plan with a chamfer on the northwest corner, rising to the full height of the tower and also containing slit windows.

The chancel arch may be from the 13th century, as may the trefoil rere-archs of the lancet windows. Inside, there is a simple 'A'-frame roof and 19th-century fittings. The nave has a boarded near-flat ceiling with tie rods, and stripped plaster on the west wall indicates a later northward extension and a former west window. The font may date from the 13th century. In the northeast corner of the chancel, there is a slab monument under a simple pediment dedicated to the Dauney family, dating from 1766 onwards, and a hatchment board on the west wall of the nave from 1749.
