St Marys Church

St Mary’s Church is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble stone with grey stone dressings. It features a nave, chancel, north porch, south vestry, and a west bellcote, all topped with a slate roof that has crested ridge tiles and cross finials. There is a brick chimney on the southeast side of the nave. The nave contains three two-light windows on the south side and two similar windows on the north side, along with one single-light window. These windows are adorned with unusual brick trilobe decorative arches made from two colors of brick, with yellow brick crosses as infill. The north side of the chancel has one lancet window, while the east wall features a three-light window with a similar brick head and a memorial to Ursula Painter dating from around 1670 beneath it. The south vestry has a gabled roof with a two-light window on the south side. The bellcote is pedimented and topped with a cross finial, and there is a tiny lancet window beneath it. A stone porch, added around 1925, has a slate roof and an inner pointed doorway decorated with brick similar to the main windows. The oldest gravestone in the churchyard dates back to 1791.

Inside, the walls are plastered with pointed arched reveals. The nave features two tie beam and king post trusses, while both the nave and chancel have rafter roofs with scissor bracing. The east window and the two larger north windows are stained glass memorials from the First World War created by Powell. There is a coffin-shaped slab commemorating Richard Fenton, a historian, on the south wall of the nave. The church contains plain pine pews and a pulpit, along with a pointed plastered chancel arch. The chancel has a boarded roof and a Victorian tessellated pavement in the sanctuary, dating from around 1892, and an oak altar rail with brass supports from the same period.
