St Mary's Church was rebuilt in 1752, replacing an earlier medieval church. It was designed by Stephen Wright (Clerk of Works to
Hampton Court Palace). The church has a tall
apsidal (dome-like)
chancel with a south chapel and western extensions to aisles added in extensive remodelling designed by architect
Samuel Sanders Teulon in 1857. A porch was added in 1871. In 1900 a choir vestry was added to the north and the interior was extensively remodelled in the 1950s, only Teulon's chancel and chancel chapels remain. Further alterations were made in 1972, including the removal of Teulon's porch, extending the gallery, replacement of pews and the pulpit. The octagonal room under the tower became the entrance porch. The plaque over the doorway records that in 1901 six bells were recast and two more were dedicated. The glass doors were donated in 2001. The iron railings on the gallery are from the old Teulon gallery. In the chancel are
Sgraffito decoration illustrating the gospels, painted by
Heywood Sumner in 1892. There are
Salviati mosaics and the pillars are decorated with carved foliage representing the seasons. The projecting angels were added between 1892 and 1900. The apse wall is decorated by Seraphims and Christ the King, painted by local artist
George Ostreham in 1892. The altar rails were donated in 1949. The yew tree in the churchyard probably dates from when the new church was completed. == Monuments ==
