Architectural Features

C15 tower

North chapel: early C14 with C19 restored east 2-light

2-light trefoil lancet window over west Norman doorway, reset from elsewhere in church and largely C19 restoration having attached columns with scalloped capitals, enriched imposts, arch with dogtooth ornament within roll moulding and plain tympanum

2 gargoyles to each tower face between 2 string courses

aisle roof of 2 large and 2 small bays as arcade, with arched scissor-braced trusses supported on carved stone angel corbels each bearing blank shield.

C19 octagonal pulpit with carved inset panels

round Norman bowl font on later moulded circular base.

Set of Cl9 stained glass by various designers: south chancel windows by Thomas Willement

Little of the late C13 church survives, but extensive Victorian additions and rebuilding are of a good quality.
