St Mary’s church is a living building. Built by the Knights Templar in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, it has been prayed in for over a thousand years and has an atmosphere that reflects this. It is decorated with wall paintings which span six centuries, some of which were only rediscovered in the 1960s. They provide spiritual inspiration and comfort for worshippers and visitors. Just over 10 years ago, a kitchen, vestry and toilet were added, helping to make the church more welcoming and usable for community activities. The church is open during daylight hours.

The building consist of a nave, central tower and chancel, all arranged in a East – West line. there is a small porch in the southern corner and a vestry in the north, all standing in a small churchyard.

The church tower is original and about 10 feet square and of a style which has elements of the late Norman and early English periods.

The nave is entered from the fifteenth century porch and probably dates from the thirteenth century and is thus probably a later addition to the original building. It is decorated with wall paintings which span six centuries, some of which were only rediscovered in the 1960s.

The church has become a regular filming location for the BBC’s Crandford series and has also been a location for other major films.

We have recently had a wonderful film made of St Mary’s by a local resident, Luke Phillips.
