Summary
St Mary's is largely Perpendicular is style, though a Decorated window survives in the chancel. However the church does contain a gem of Norman date; the south doorway has three orders of colonnettes with decorated shafts, decorated capitals, abaci and arches with zig-zags, roll-mouldings, chain motif and a plaited beaded band. Inside the church are three bays with octagonal piers without capitals, and four-centred arches with hollow chamfers. These probably date to the 16th century. In the vestry is a medieval alabaster panel of the Holy Family, and in the east window the stained glass is thought to date to 1851. There are a number of monuments, but the most notable is the Trafford Mausoleum in the churchyard. This large monument is by Anthony Salvin, and was built between 1827 and 1828.
