St Mary's is a Grade I listed building which was originally the gatehouse chapel of a great Cistercian Abbey. It has an enormous, striking east window and a high ceiling with original 12th century beams. The church as a whole is an odd building. The14th century stone chancel is conjoined to a Georgian nave, which is low, pale pink, and has a cupola on top. The Abbey itself was destroyed in 1536. All that remains are a few sections of wall in the field to the north of the church
