St Mary

Medieval features almost entirely mid/late C14, but chancel has earlier core.

Moulded arched C14 doorways to the nave and chancel have C18 panelled doors

The tower has a fine circular C14 west window with fragments of C15 and C19 glass.

The south porch was added later C14

a mask gargoyle survives from the original roof (the existing purlin roof was added C17).

Crow-stepped gables and C15 2-light side windows with tracery, later blocked.

The broad moulded chancel arch is in the C14 manner, but probably rebuilt C19.

The thorough restoration of the chancel in 1877 is recorded in stained glass in a chancel window.

Over the north doorway is a late C14 painting of 3 crowned figures

Octagonal limestone font in the C15 manner, dated 1902.
