the slightly narrower belfry stage incorporates some red brick, and has C15 openings (missing tracery) to each quarter.

To the south the nave has 3 C14 2-light windows.

Late C14 porch (restored) and nave doorway.

C14 chancel: to the south there is a broad lancet window, 2 2-light windows (one renewed) and an unmoulded Priest's doorway.

Sacristy and organ chamber of c.1880, incorporating re-used C14 windows.

C14 2-bay chapel arcade.

Early C17 5-bay chancel roof, said to be dated 1633

Good C15 carved octagonal font

in the chancel is a disused C12 font with a square tapering bowl.

Early C17 square pulpit, the base and tester both renewed

the pulpit stairs, with turned baulsters and the date 1636, may once have formed part of the altar rails.

The rood screen incorporates early C17 work but has been much restored: the figures above the rood beam were added in 1893 and the painted rood canopy in 1919.

2 good monuments in north sanctuary: in the floor an early C15 brass effigy of a knight

The east window has stained glass of c.1875 by Kempe, 28 of the panels containing a single figure.
