[...] an early building was built of stone or wood and possibly even thatched to serve as a church. Sometime between 1000 and 1100 historical records indicate that this early church was dedicated to “Virgin Mary”.

In those very early days, the church was used for many secular meetings as well as worship. At one time it was used for storing wool and other products, and even weapons. There were no seats in the interior of the church for the families in the parish.

[...]

Traditionally, Roman churches were built in the shape of a cross (cruciform) and that is true of St Mary’s as well although renovations and additions have made the shape a modified cruciform. [...]

The west tower is the dominant feature of St Mary’s with the top of the second stage ending with an embattled parapet.
