The church of ST. MARY consists of a chancel, nave with north chapel and south porch, and west tower, and is built of field stones with ashlar dressings. The tower may be 13th-century, but its west window has Decorated tracery. The chancel is 14th-century: the three south windows have curvilinear tracery and are matched by the east window, flanked by ornate contemporary niches inside and renewed after 1852, while the three north windows, one blocked with a tablet to Henry Harrison (d. 1690), have simpler tracery. The nave and porch also appear to be 14th-century, but three new windows on each side of the nave were inserted at two periods in the 15th or 16th centuries. The north chapel may have been built in the 15th century; it was walled off from the church by 1744, and remained so in 1852.
Three late medieval benches survive in the nave. The old rood-screen, intact in 1744, was cut down and removed to the tower arch c. 1900. The late medieval nave roof has side-posts standing onbraced tie-beams, the easternmost beam being carved with vine-leaf scrolls. Following storm damage in 1579 and c. 1608 the roof was repaired in 1615. The whole church was thoroughly restored between 1898 and 1900, the old pews and pulpit being replaced and a new rood screen installed. An organ of 1800 brought from St. Mary's, Newmarket, almost fills the north chapel.
Of the five bells recorded in 1744 and later, the earliest, cast at London c. 1460, has a black-letter Latin inscription, as have two made by Richard Holdfield of Cambridge in 1606. The other two were cast in 1706 and 1714 by Henry Pleasant and John Thornton, both of Sudbury.
