Summary
The ruins of Old St Mary's medieval church stand here. It was built from Carstone, ashlar and brick with much reused Norman material. The north doorway is 14th century, the west wall 15th century but very little other external detail survives. The church fell into disuse by the mid 19th century. Investigation of the church grounds have recovered Late Saxon, medieval and post medieval pottery sherds as well as fragments of stained glass.
