History
St Mary's church was built in 1828, and the apse and presbytery were added in later in the 19th century.[1]
Architecture
Exterior
The church is constructed in stone, and has a
bellcote. Along the sides of the church are round-headed windows with keystones, and panels above them. In the apse are round-headed lancet windows.[1][2]
Interior
Interior
Inside the church is a segmental vaulted ceiling. There is a small west gallery over an internal porch. The round chancel arch is carried on round pillars with scrolled capitals. In the apse are large paintings, a niche and an altar. The font dates from 1877, it is in alabaster on marble shafts, and contains panels with evangelists' symbols.[1]
Presbytery
Attached to the east end of the church is the presbytery, which is in two storeys and has a three-
hipped roof. In the centre is an entrance with a gabled porch.[1]
Appraisal
On 23 August 1985 the church and the presbytery were designated together as a Grade II
Buildings of England series that the church has "an almost featureless barn of an interior".[2]
