St. Mary's Church is an unusually complete example of an early 13th Century medieval church, consisting of nave, chance, south porch and west tower. It is constructed mainly of flint rubble walling with freestone dressings and massive buttressing. On both of the nave buttresses east of the porch are medieval mass-dials carved into the stonework which were used to fix the times of the service before the days of clocks.
