Church of St Mary

Chancel and nave without aisles, entered by a south porch. Quarry tiled porch and nave with wood blocks under pews; 9 bay C19 nave roof with low collar beam trusses, boarded soffit to rafters. Plastered internally apart from west wall, where a rough opening to tower survives at high level, walled up. The chancel arch is equilateral-pointed and chamfered each side. Oak pulpit at right, carved in Gothic style, stone plinth, three steps. Two steps up at chancel arch. Quarry tiled chancel floor, with some glazed encaustic tiles; three-bay chancel roof with high collar beams and arch braces, boarded soffit between rafters. The altar stands a little forward from a carved Gothic oak reredos. Round altar rails on brass standards; the altar and rails donated by Miss Talbot, 1891. Carved Gothic choirstalls. Beneath the south window is a trefoil-headed recess, perhaps a piscina, the bowl missing, or an aumbry. The stained glass to the nave and the east window is all C20. The two-light east window (1948, by Celtic Studios) depicts the Annunciation. The re-opened low-side-window is glazed in plain Cathedral glass of yellow tint. Main side windows of the chancel in clear glass. The font stands near the south door: mediaeval, slightly tapering cube on a very short round pillar; square plinth plus C19 lower plinth and step. Rough tooling marks. At the north side of the chancel is a bronze plaque to the Rev J P Lewis (Rector 1855-98), under whom most of the church restoration took place, and his wife Rebecca. At the north side of the nave, left, a white marble tablet to Signalman Gibbs, who died in action in 1918, and right, a tablet to Edgar Evans, RN, who died in 1912 on Capt. Scott's expedition to the South Pole: carved with a representation of his burial scene in Antarctica (by Brown of Swansea).

Nave and chancel with a small west tower and a south porch. The tower is low and has a transverse saddleback roof, without parapets. Local axe-dressed conglomerate sandstone masonry apart from the dressed stone of the windows and doors; the north and south windows of the nave and its coped gables in sandstone and the windows and coped gable of the chancel in oolitic limestone. Slate roofs with tile ridges to the nave, chancel and tower. The tower has single slit belfry lights to north and south and a round chimney. The east window is in Decorated style with two cinquefoil main lights and a quatrefoil top light. Label-mould to this window only with carved heads as terminals. The north and south windows of the chancel are broad trefoil-headed lancets. The low-side-window in the south wall of the chancel is a re-opened mediaeval window, with a slight ogee point. The three windows to the north of the nave and five to the south are all broad featureless lancets. Plain half-round outer arch to the porch. The inner doorway is the special feature of St Mary's: a two-order arch, the inner order plain apart from a jamb chamfer with decorative upper stops. The outer order is decorated with two bands of outward-pointing chevrons and nook-shafts with carved caps. There is some misfitting at the crown of the chevron arch. Dogtooth label-mould with small oval carved head now slightly left of centre; carved heads as terminals. The left terminal head is more worn; the right head is larger and may be later. Finger sundial in the abacus of the left cap.
