St Mary's Church The west tower is of brick with the lower stages faced in stone.  The huge buttresses (obscuring a small Norman window) were added in the 18th century to counter the outward lean of the south wall due to subsidence on the hilltop site, the dramatic effect of which can be seen inside the church.

Inside St Mary's Church Looking west down the nave, the tremendous outward lean of the south wall is obvious.  The central window is Norman and is matched by a similar one on the north side.  Between the windows huge external buttresses counteract the outward thrust of the walls.  The roof has a scissor truss construction and the Georgian box pews are richly varnished.

Chancel of St Mary's Church Pevsner, visiting in 1961, commented that this end of the church "seems all renewed".  The roof trusses echo those of the nave on a smaller scale.  The altar is flanked by Victorian decalogue boards.
