The church of St.
Mary consists of chancel, nave, south porch and west tower. The
walls are of flint with stone dressings, the roofs are tiled.
The nave appears to
belong to a pre-Conquest period, probably about the middle of the
11th century; part of the chancel dates from about 1350; the west
tower is early 15th-century work; the east wall of the chancel, the
chancel arch and the south porch were rebuilt in the 19th century,
when other repairs were made.
The large
five-light east window of the chancel is modern, but parts of the
reticulated tracery belonged to the 14th-century window. In the
north wall is a window of circa 1350; the two-light window in the
south wall is modern; the chancel arch also is modern.
In the north wall
of the nave are two windows of 15th-century date. There are two
modern two-light windows in the south wall of the nave.
The west tower is
of three stages, with an embattled parapet, except on the east,
which is plain. The second stage is pierced on the south side with
a narrow single light; the belfry has a single pointed light on
each face, much worn.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would
just ask that you could let
Sadexploration know first so he can
keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication.
