Description
The Church of St Mary is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble with a slate roof featuring cemented copings. It has a square, early 19th-century rendered domed bellcote on the west gable, which has been remodelled with new belfry openings. The church consists of a nave and a narrower chancel. The west door is pointed and features paired boarded doors with stone voussoirs. Above the door is a small round-arched recess with a keystone. The south side of the nave has three tall pointed windows with timber Y-tracery, added in 1887. The north side has similar windows, but the easternmost is wider and has simple timber intersecting tracery from 1887, as does the east window. All windows have stone voussoired heads, projecting keystones, drips, and slate sills. There is a simple late 19th-century rubble lean-to vestry on the north side of the chancel.
Inside, the church features a simple design, with the highlight being an excellent 13th-century font. The font has a square bowl with a chamfered underside and chamfered-off corners, with each face displaying three odd projecting baubles and a circular pedestal that tapers to a square base. The chancel arch is four-centred, leading up two steps to the chancel. The interior includes simple late 19th-century pews, a pulpit, a communion rail, and a lectern. There are also five late 19th-century bracketed oil lamps in the nave.
