Church of Saint Mary

The Church of Saint Mary is a robustly detailed church built in the Early English style, likely dating to the 19th century. The exterior is rock-faced stone with free-stone bands and dressings, topped with a slate roof. A gabled bellcote sits on the east gable of the nave. A gabled southwest porch features short shafts on high bases to its unchamfered arch, with a similar inner arch. Panelled and glazed doors, originally designed by Alfred Waterhouse and removed from Eaton Hall around 1950, were once in place. Broad, chamfered lancet windows are found in the nave, grouped 2-3-3 between buttresses on the north wall. Similar lancet windows are present in the transepts and the west end, which has a simple geometric traceried rose window. Hipped roof vestries and organ chambers are situated in the east angle of each transept. The apsidal chancel has broad, hollow chamfered lancet lights with hood moulds carried on block corbels, and raised continuous sill bands.

Inside, the nave has four principal bays, defined by scissor-braced trusses on wall posts sprung from corbels; subsidiary trusses are also scissor-braced. The chancel arch features detached red sandstone shafts supporting a roll-moulded inner arch and an unchamfered outer arch. A similar arch moulding, but with engaged shafts and trumpet capitals, is found in the transepts and the former organ chamber in the chancel. The chancel roof is of pitch-pine herringbone boarding with timber rib vaulting in the apse. A heavy trefoiled sedilia is present. The encaustic tiled floor is traditionally said to be from Saint Giles Church, Wrexham, although Thomas suggested Maws floor tiles in 1872.

Fittings introduced around 1916, potentially by Cecil Hare who undertook similar work in other local churches, include a fine chancel screen with Perpendicular open-work traceried panels and a vinescroll frieze, a similarly detailed reredos, and simple traceried dado panelling in the chancel. The church contains an organ by Rushworth and Draper. There is a pulpit, likely introduced in the later 19th century, with a stone base and open-work traceried timber panels. A contemporary font with clustered shafts supporting a quatrefoil basin was the gift of the church's builder. Stained glass in the east windows forms a series; the central window was given by the architect, while the flanking lights were given by Mary Roy, in memory of her husband, Robert.
