THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. MARY consists of \u00a0undivided\u00a0nave and chancel, 56 ft. by 18 ft., with modern W.\u00a0porch and N. vestry. The church was extensively restored in\u00a01906. The walls of the nave and chancel seem to have been\u00a0largely rebuilt above sill level and the fenestration is entirely\u00a0modern. The doorways to the nave are round-headed, and\u00a0may be original. That on the W. is off-centre; that to the\u00a0vestry retains a wooden latch-fitting in the E. jamb. The\u00a016th-century trusses have been patched and re-used; they are\u00a0of collar-beam type, arch-braced, strutted and multicusped.\u00a0The roof covering is modern.<\/p>\n
