Always something to see in a Cotswold church, even a tiny redundant one.  The chancel's wagon roof is ceiled, with bosses.  In the north wall, the blocked splay of a Norman window is filled with the cusped canopy of an Easter Sepulchre.

South porch has Norman doorway with scratch dials and Early English capitals to outer archway.
