The little red brick church
Standing remote in rural surroundings and designed by J L Pearson in 1875, St Mary's is a fine example of low budget inventiveness.
The church was erected at the expense of the Fowle family, whose mortal remains rest in the churchyard. Built of flint, brick and tile with a tall pyramid spire, and with nave and aisles spanned by a single roof, it is a pattern of well-proportioned architecture. There are pretty stained glass windows by Clayton and Bell.
