This beautiful church in a tranquil and peaceful setting, is one of the most complete churches designed by GE Street and has many fine features for visitors to enjoy.

The tall Saxon tower of St Mary's was not always at the west end of the church as the original nave was dismantled in the late Norman period and the Norman chancel became the nave, with a new chancel added in the late 13th century.
