Brief description

"A hidden gem in a farmyard setting

The 850-year-old church of St Mary's is hidden in a farmyard on marshland fringes to the south of the River Swale. The west doorway, with zig-zag decoration, is mid twelfth century, whilst the exceptionally long chancel was built about a hundred years later. Inside, a thirteenth-century stone coffin lid is topped by carved hands holding a heart. The curious little brick tower is early nineteenth century.

There are also some reused Roman tiles in the wall. NB: Access is only permitted from the public road that leads to the church from the north east, and the adjacent footpaths. Visitors are requested not to use the private road that reaches the church from the south."
