This church was abandoned, along with the one at Croxton, in the 1880's, and a brand new church built halfway between the two. Money was left for the rebuilding of the tower on at least two occasions in the 1450's, so what survives today is probably a result of that.
The tower is completely covered in ivy, it's hard to make out the church ruin at all from the road. It was amazing to be able to walk up the narrow, spiral stairs of the bell tower
St Mary's is a grade II listed building..
