Church building

It is a small stone building in the Early English style, twice rebuilt, in 1806 and in 1858, and occupying the site of a more ancient church.

There is a nave, chancel, and south aisle; north of the chancel, forming a transept, is the Londonderry mausoleum, within which is a sculptured white marble tomb of the third Marquis of Londonderry. The present building is Grade II* listed.[1]

There was formerly a chantry in this church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The church has links with St. Mary's Church of England Aided Primary School in Longnewton.
