St Mary's is Grade II listed and particular reference is made to the beautiful stained glass and carved wooden roof inside church and the frieze behind the altar. There is a book of walks from the church stored on the welcome table inside church. 

We have an extensive amount of detail about burials in the churchyard and adjacent burial ground on a dedicated web site: https://www.totterbank.co.uk/graves.php

Our bell ringers usually ring on the Sunday when we have a service and can be heard practising most Friday mornings. We are fortunate to have an array of 6 bells and a dedicated team of ringers.
