Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a medieval parish church. The building incorporates a broad west tower, a nave, a south porch, a chancel, a northeast vestry, a transept, and a boiler room at the northwest. It is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof with cruciform finials.

The west tower is embattled, featuring rectangular louvred belfry openings both above and below, and a clock face located just below the parapet. A slightly recessed, plain segmental arched doorway is present on the west side, above which is a plaque recording late 17th-century rebuilding. The tower has rubble quoins. The nave's windows are 19th-century trefoil-headed lancets. The south porch has a plain pointed-arched doorway with a narrow chamfer and a niche above. Inside are stone seats, a flag floor, and a plastered ceiling. A narrow pointed-arched 19th-century doorway provides access to the main south side of the church. The chancel has similar windows, and a pointed-arched priests' doorway. The east window is a three-light design incorporating Geometric tracery, with late 20th-century additions at the northeast in a traditional style. A single-story lean-to boiler house is located at the northwest. The church is set within a walled churchyard that includes a number of early 19th-century chest tombs and a kissing gate with spear finials leading to the former Rectory.

The interior is largely 19th century, with rendered walls and exposed dressings. The nave roof is boarded with tie beam trusses and angled struts. The chancel has a painted panelled ceiling with a grid of narrow moulded stained ribs. The west tower arch is segmental pointed, and is separated from the nave at ground floor by a glazed and metal screen designed by Frank Roper in 1981. A benefaction board is also present. A small octagonal stone font has an alabaster stem. A figurative carved wooden pulpit dates to 1902. The pointed chancel arch’s main mouldings rise from deep-cut foliage corbels. An unusual wooden chancel screen features thick cusped tracery mouldings, columns with shaft rings, and a rood group on a rood beam above. There is one step up to the chancel and two to the sanctuary, which is adorned with a polychrome alabaster reredos by Ninian Comper. The east window's stained glass is in a Hardman style, dating to 1867, and the south nave windows are by Lavers and Westlake, dating to 1896. A late 20th-century north transept contains contemporary fittings. There are three bells from the Taylors of Loughborough foundry, cast in 1882. Fine wall monuments are located along the north wall of the nave and chancel, described from west to east. A 17th-century monument commemorates members of the Thomas family of Wenvoe Castle, constructed from contrasting marble and alabaster; it features an oval inscription panel with incised lettering and shallow-relief angelic figures, swags, a heraldic cartouche at the base, a classical surround with Corinthian capitals, a broken pediment with reclining figures, and a central group representing the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity. An early 18th-century monument also commemorates the Thomas family, and is constructed of elegant two-tone grey marble and stone, featuring inscription panels, cherub heads, and a broken segmental-arched pediment with reclining cherubs and a central heraldic cartouche. The tall, late 18th-century monument honors the Birt and Jenner families of Wenvoe Castle, constructed in white and grey marble with an enriched urn above backed by a tapering grey panel. Additional 18th-century wall plaques are present, bearing local inscriptions.
