Description
The Church of St Mary was built between 1837 and 1838 by architect John Welch. It features an exterior made of yellow sandstone with coursed stonework and slate roofs. The church has a cruciform plan, characterized by lancet windows, gabled buttresses, and low-pitched roofs. The west tower is adorned with a parapet of stepped battlements and is corbelled out. It has two windows on each side at the bell stage, a lozenge-shaped window to the west, shallow buttresses, and blind windows on the sides. The west side also includes a round-headed doorway with a shallow hood. The nave consists of three bays, with gabled buttresses, and the north doorway features a round head and shallow hood. The transepts and east end are supported by pairs of buttresses that rise as octagonal pinnacles, with three lancets between the buttresses and an almond-shaped window above. The ends have single lancets, and the east end mirrors the transept ends but includes a low polygonal vestry with buttresses that rise above the parapet.
Inside, the church has a spacious interior with an open roof in the aisleless nave, which includes a gallery at the west end supported by octagonal columns. Broad crossing arches lead to a boarded roof.
The Church of St Mary is listed as a good example of earlier 19th-century Gothic architecture.
