Church of St Mary the Virgin

The stone building extends over seven bays with a nave, chancel, and aisles, featuring a hipped slate and Cotswold stone roof with an embattled parapet.

The current structure, designed by Francis Hiorne, opened in 1781 on a site that had housed religious buildings since the seventh century Saxon period.

The church interior contains box pews accessed through surrounding passageways rather than the central aisle, along with stained glass works by Clayton, Bell, and William Wailes.

Religious services include traditional Holy Communion on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:00, plus a midweek service on Wednesdays at 9:30 in the morning.

Two large chandeliers from 1781 hang above the nave, while the 57-meter tower holds eight bells cast primarily by Rudhall of Gloucester in 1722.
