Architectural Features

early C16 stump of tower

C14 nave of flint rubble (formerly plastered) with stone dressings

above is a timber framed and plastered belfry, probably of C16-C17 date, with a gabled pantiled roof.

South nave wall has 2 C14 2-light windows, one with carved hoodmould stops.

Simple C14 north and south doorways, that to the north blocked.

Chancel has re-set C14 windows and Priest's doorway, including a good 3-light east window with reticulated tracery and carved stops to the hoodmould.

5-bay nave roof, perhaps c.1500, each truss with arched-braces from the wallposts and further braces to a high collar.

At the foot of each wallpost is a carved head: most of these seem to be original.

Good C15 octagonal font, the bowl with shield-bearing angels alternating with the Signs of the Evangelists

Pyramidal font cover, perhaps C18.
