It retains many original medieval features, including a notable tomb containing the remains of Sir William de Tracy.

The oldest parts of the Anglican church of St Mary date back to Norman times, but it has been added to in subsequent years.

The upper slab of black or dark grey granite or marble is incised with the life-size figure of a priest in full vestments, holding a chalice to his breast.

On the north side of the base of the tomb are sculpted in relief three escutcheons, now devoid of any colourings, listed from east to west : On the same north side of the base at the west end, beneath plain canopies, are effigies representing possibly St. Catherine with her wheel, and St. Mary Magdalene, with long flowing hair.

[5] Lord Sudeley insists this is the tomb of William de Tracy who is known to have been the incumbent of this church,[6] endowed a chantry at Mortehoe in 1307/8, and died in 1322.
