Description
The Church of St Mary is an early English Gothic style building constructed from Bathstone with slate roofs. The elevation facing the street features a five-stage tower with gabled buttresses, corner pinnacles, and a trefoil parapet. The bell stage includes three lancet windows, while the lower stage has trefoil arcading. The next two stages display lancet arcading, and the main entrance archway is located below. Heavily buttressed aisles flank the tower, each with round windows above the lancets; the right aisle contains a Gothic doorway. A louvre is situated on the ridge of the nave roof.
Inside, the church has a spacious interior with a braced wooden roof. The nave consists of six bays supported by tall iron columns on large water-holding bases, topped with large stiff-leaf capitals. Each side of the nave features an aisle chapel with three bays. The reredos in the decorated style, located at the rear of the sanctuary and aisles, showcases polychrome figures of saints. The aisle chapels each have elaborate reredos adorned with sculptural reliefs and figures of saints, with polychrome marble above. Stained glass windows in the aisles depict individual saints, while the altar is highlighted by a depiction of the Coronation of the Virgin in a stepped triple lancet window.
