St. Mary's church has a massive, central and low Late Norman tower, with embattled parapet and large pinnacles of 1606. The tower is supported over the nave on Transitional Norman arches springing from piers with scalloped capitals and keel-moulded jamb shafts. The nave has north and south aisles with 14th C five -bay arcades, octagonal piers with moulded capitals, and pointed arches of two chamfered orders. The east window has stained glass by A. Gibbs; the 1893 south-west window is by Kempe; and the window on the north is by Willement.
