The CHURCH (St. Mary,) is a small fabric, which formerly had a north aisle, of which part of a wall is still standing.

The rectory, valued in K.B. at £3. 13s. 9d., and in 1831 at £126, is in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. Wm. Hobson, B.D. The glebe is 18A.; and the common was enclosed in 1813.
