Architectural Features
extended C14, part rebuilt late C18, restored in 1864 by Woodyer with further late C19 additions.
West tower: C12.
The bell-chamber openings are C12 and have two round-arched lights with chevron moulded heads recessed within semi-circular arches.
Above is an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles (probably C17), a shallow pyramidal roof and weathervane.
Nave: aisles probably date from C14 but mainly rebuilt late C18.
There is a 4-light west end window, three 3-light north windows (the window in the third bay from the east end has a C18 wall memorial to the Phillips family adjacent to it) and in the westernmost bay of the north elevation is a late C19 cusped lancet in a rectangular opening and a doorway with a shaped head.
The chancel dates from the C14 and has a chamfered plinth and a sill string.
The south elevation has buttresses with offsets at the bay divisions, three 2-light windows (the two westernmost probably have C14 external jambs) and there is a pointed doorway between the two easternmost windows above which the sill string is stepped to form a hoodmould.
There is a C14 cusped pointed piscina and aumbry in the chancel and a small rectangular recess with a door high up in the north wall.
The circular stone font and five-sided stone pulpit with figure reliefs are C19.
The recess contains a miniature effigy of a cross-legged Knight holding his heart - probably the memorial of a heart burial.
Also in the chancel is a large obelisk wall memorial with the relief of a woman draped over a column by Bacon Jun and Manning for William Godson, died 1822, and an illegible memorial with a broken segmental pediment, an urn finial and flanking pilasters.
Below the south-east window of the south aisle is a shallow arched recess containing the effigy of a large cross-legged knight of circa 1300, possibly John or Robert Sturmy of Sutton Sturmy.
Also the east end of the south aisle is richly detailed alabaster tomb chest with tapering Ionic pilasters and ovals in the panels surrounding coats of arms and figure reliefs.
Upon the chest lie the effigies of Thomas Acton of Sutton, died 1546 and his wife, Mary, died 1564.
The tomb is dated 1581 and is particularly well detailed.
Also in the south aisle is an obelisk shaped memorial to Thomas Noxon, died 1809, an oval memorial to Edward Downes, died 1787, by W Stephens, the Blakeway memorial of 185? and a memorial to Thomas Wall, died 1814, with a draped urn relief.
The north aisle has a large shield-shaped memorial to Edward Wheeler, died 1820 and a sarcophagus memorial to the Morris family, erected in 1837. (VCH, IV, p 368-70
