Church of St. Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a Grade II listed building, constructed with Pennant sandstones in dark brown, pinkish, and occasionally red colors, arranged in regular courses with rock-faced Bath stone dressings. The church features sharp angles, battered bases to the walls, and plain tile roofs. It has a three-bay nave, a lower chancel, a south-west tower with an internal porch, and no side aisles. An added north transept and vestry are connected to the chancel.

The nave windows are in the Decorated style, featuring two lights with 2-centred heads, while the south-west nave window has four lights with tracery that includes trefoils, quatrefoils, and sexfoils. The chancel has a three-light window in the east gable and single and two-light windows in the south wall. The vestry, which has a gable end facing the street, includes a three-light window with rectangular heads. The north wall features two square-headed windows, two arched doors leading to the vestry, and two windows similar to those in the nave.

The tower is tall and consists of three stages with an embattled parapet and a taller stair turret at the north-east corner, which has a small Caernarvon arch entry at its base. The porch has a 2-centred entrance at the base of the tower, above which is a single-light cusped-headed window, followed by a circular clock face, a 2-light cusped-headed louvred opening, and a string course below the parapet. These openings are mirrored on the other faces of the tower.

Inside, the church is plastered and painted over polychromatic brick, featuring open boarded roofs. The interior is in a plain Gothic style, with most fittings and furnishings still in place. Notable features include a good 13th-century style font with a conical wooden cover, a stone reredos, and a five-bay crown post roof in the nave, along with a close-set arch-braced tie beam roof in the chancel. The nave windows were installed between 1913 and 1914, the west window was created by Celtic Studios in 1948, and the south chancel window was designed by Alan Younger in 1980.
