Summary
Medieval Parish Church of St. Mary. The earliest part, the chancel, is thought to date to the 12th century with later additions in the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries. In the 15th century the Knave was rebuilt and probably lengthened. Also around this time the South Chapel and South porch were added and the two East bays of the North aisle were built. Shortly after the West tower was built. In the late 15th century the south vestry was added and an arch dividing it from the chancel inserted. The walls are built from local rubble and Ham Hill stone and the roofs covered with stone slate and lead.
