Exploring St Mary's Church Architecture
How Old is St Mary's Church?
The oldest parts of St Mary's Church that you can see today were built in the 12th century. That's over 800 years ago! Before that, there might have been an even older building on the same spot. Some people think it could have been a Saxon church, possibly linked to a chapel called 'All Saints' Chapel' from the year 1115.
What Style is the Church?
Most of the church is built in a style called Early English. This was a popular way to build churches in England during the 13th century. You can see this style in the main arches inside the church.
Windows and Other Features
The windows in the church were added later, in the 14th and 15th centuries. The glass in these windows was put together in the 17th century. Inside, there are also special monuments from 1626 and 1729. The porch, which is the entrance area, was repaired and made new again in 1938.
