St. Mary's is a small Early Norman church. The South doorway has a tympanum carved with a Maltese cross and pellet ornaments in between the rays, a row of dogtooth, and a segment of six-leaved roses and stars. There is a small and plain Norman chancel arch with chamfered imposts. The font in the chancel is in front of the altar. It is a Perp octagonal bowl with quatrefoils and stem with niches.
