Architectural Features

Rubble flint with ashlar dressings and a plain tile roof.

Tower: Circular lower body of Cll-C12 with octagonal belfry stage of early-C14.

Western facing portion: 2-light ground floor window of early C14 Y-tracery with chamfered ashlar surround and hood-mould.

The tower then dies back via an ashlar offset to an early-C14 octagonal upper body.

Nave: North face: mostly rebuilt in the early C14 with ashlar quoins but showing some herringbone flint.

Early-C14 plank door with contemporary strap hinge.

Font is of mid-C15 date with octagonal stem having sunken panels of blind tracery before which stand small plinths of semi- octagonal form (as if to carry crouching lions and buttresses that were unexecuted or have been removed).

Below the bowl are angels' heads with interlacing wings.

The bowl itself has sunken panels, those facing the compass points having angels bearing coats of arms of the De Brewse family (who erected it) and the same impaling Ufford, Shardelow and Stapleton.

The lower doorway to the rood screen is now blocked but has a double ogee archway of ashlar.
