The oldest visible part, according to Pevsner, is the walled up Norman north arcade with circular piers but pointed arches. There are also remains from the 14th and 15th centuries.

St Mary’s was never deconsecrated. In July 2005 a service of re-dedication was held in the ruins following restoration work, which began in 1994 led by John Severn. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is listed Grade I.
