St Mary

The nave and tower preserve some Norman fabric, a remodelling probably took place in the late C15 or early C16 when the north aisle and south porch were added.

It has 3 late C15 or early C16 3-light granite mullion windows.

To the west of the porch, however, is a C15 2-light cinquefoiled window.

Interior: porch has old wagon roof with moulded ribs and small carved bosses.

Simple Norman south doorway which has a round arch, chamfered imposts and jambs.

The roof over the nave has been renewed but the old wagon roof survives over the aisle with moulded ribs, carved bosses and wall-plate.

The old carved bench ends survive displaying the emblems of the Passion, the Keys of St Peter and a coat of arms - possibly the Giffards.

The pulpit also appears to be made up of old carved bench ends.

Simple late medieval octagonal font of Caen stone.

2 good later C17 wall memorials survive.

The other memorial is over the south doorway and has a slate plaque with a scrolled pediment above with the Fortescue arms at the centre.

Dated 1655 to John Fortescue.

On the north wall is a small early C19 memorial to Henry Bearn.

Adjoining is a pedimented memorial dated 1752 to Mary Spooner daughter of William Fortescue with an epitaph below.

Obelisk shaped memorial to John Inglett Fortescue who died 1840.

At the east end of the aisle is a bas relief memorial to Ann Fortescue who died 1815 depicting 2 mourning men, by Flaxman the sculptor.
