Description
St Mary's Parish Church is a Grade II listed building in the Decorated Gothic style. It features a six-bay aisled nave with a southwest porch, a lower two-bay chancel, and a southwest four-stage tower topped with an octagonal spire. The church is constructed of rubble with a freestone spire and decorative elements such as crucifix finials, plinth bands, quoins, and stepped and diagonal buttresses, which are gabled at the west and east ends. The roofs are slate, and the doors are boarded.
The exterior includes pointed trefoil clerestory windows and three-light aisle windows with varied cusped tracery. The windows adjacent to the porch have blind panels below, as do the aisle windows at the west end. The entrance features a Caernarfon arch doorway with a pointed trefoil tympanum and carved spandrels beneath a rere arch, accessed by a parallel flight of stone steps. The spire has small lucarnes, and the gabled bell stage includes two-light openings, with punched trefoils and paired lancets below. The east window has four lights with a stopped label and a curved-sided triangle gable window above. A lean-to vestry on the north side has a Y-tracery window and a stone chimney. There is a north entrance directly opposite the south porch, featuring a gabled arch with geometrical tracery. The west window has five lights with a label and stellar pattern tracery, along with a similarly shaped gable window above.
Inside, the church has a six-bay nave with a two-order chamfered arcade and thin octagonal piers that lack capitals. The nave features a scissors truss rood, which is boarded to the chancel, and broad aisles. The interior is adorned with Gothic furnishings and a notable stained glass window on the south side.
