The gateway to the church from Church Lane. The Anglican parish church of St Mary has a nave and tower built in the 12th century. The tower was heightened circa 1200 and again circa 1500. Aisles were added around 1300. The chancel was rebuilt in 1838. The Frewen mausoleum, which originally had no communication with the church, was built in 1846 and was converted into a chapel or north transept in 1978. Constructed of coursed stone and ashlar under roofs of slate.
