St Mary’s Church in Sisland is very pretty with its thatched roof, white walls and red brick copings on the doors and windows. It has a charming weather-boarded bell turret complete with a mini spire and weather vane. A lightning strike in 1761 damaged the old church and it was rebuilt as a rare example of the Gothick style. Elements of the original building remain in the form of a traceried piscina, a filled in arch and areas of masonry on the north side. The interior is bright and crisp, with a pleasing contrast between the rich blue of the carpet and the white walls and ceiling. The west gallery is held aloft by iron pillars and supports a petite organ. Of interest are the wooden columns separating nave from chancel. Simple roundels in the east window depict St Peter with his keys and St Paul with his sword. Another window contains a small wheatsheaf with the motto ‘Dei Providentia’ which means ‘God will provide’. The original font has survived and is guarded by four lions around its base.
