Description
The Catholic Church of St Mary, along with an attached hall at the rear, is designed in the Gothic style. The church features an aisleless nave, a sanctuary, and a sacristy, constructed from random coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The openings have pointed heads, and the west entrance front is gabled with a pointed central doorway and a 2-light traceried window above. There are octagonal piers with dentil cappings on either side of the entrance, and a floriated gable cross adorns the top. To the left of the door, there is a blocked window.
The south elevation of the nave has five bays, while the north elevation has four bays with a later hall attached at the eastern end. Flat buttresses are positioned between each bay, and the windows, some of which have been renewed, feature hoods. The right-hand window on the south elevation is a 2-light window with tracery. Both sides of the nave have a corbel table, and the east wall of the nave includes a bell-less gabled bellcote. The hall is oriented at right angles to the church, and the sanctuary and sacristy are styled similarly, with an east window in the sanctuary and a door in the west wall of the sacristy. The south gable has a stack and paired 2-light windows facing east. A later hall extension has been added to the northeast.
Inside, the nave is aisle-less with plain plastered walls and features a hammer beam roof supported by corbels with slight timbers. The underside of the roof is boarded, and there is a gallery at the west end that is partially infilled underneath. A tall plain chancel arch leads to a short sanctuary with a 2-bay wagon roof. The east window contains stained glass depicting St David and St Patrick alongside a naked boy. The altar is topped with a hanging crucifix, and there are timber and iron sanctuary rails, along with timber benches. At the east end on the north side, there is a wide pointed arched opening with columns featuring floriated capitals, which originally housed the Lady altar. A door in the center of the arch leads into the hall.
