St Mary the Virgin's Church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, and was restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The misericords in the chancel are believed to be from the 14th and 15th centuries, possibly originally from St James Abbey near Northampton or Dunston Abbey, but several - including this misericord - may be later. This misericord, on the south side of the chancel, shows three seated female figures in long robes, supported on either side by a crown and foliage. It is suggested that this depicts the three Maries at the Sepulchre before an arched building. Over the central figure is a damaged object, possibly an angel.
