Architectural Features
Leaded roofs though plain tiles to chancel.
C15 tower of 3 stages with pilaster buttresses at angles and paired lights with transoms to bell chamber.
Embattled parapet with large grotesque gargoyles clutching the angles.
Buttressed south aisle with possibly C18 south porch with round headed arch and coped gable: The inner door has a heavy ogee arch beneath an outer hood mould and is probably C16.
Buttressed north aisle and chapel with Perpendicular windows and Victorian half timbered porch: The inner door is victorian but its hood mould appears to be medieval.
Low and dark interior with tall double chamfered west tower arch of the late C13 set in a squared embrasure.
The north arcade is late C12: Cylindrical shafts have trumpet scalloped capitals, and one of stiff leaf, with a wide splay up to the square abaci.
The south arcade is slightly later, early C13 with clustered cylindrical shafts and double chamfered arches, still round headed.
Late C13 chancel arch, steep and double chamfered, and round headed arches to north and south chapels.
Chancel roof is vaulted in wood with ribs forming square panels, and painted, part of a complete scheme of decoration carried out by Sir G.G. Scott: The walls are treated in broad decorative bands with stencilled flowers in lower section, then a deep frieze: Mock ashlaring and angels and quatrefoil medallions and above these a row of arcading.
The tower space is also painted, the decorative scheme continues through the richly tiled floors and the furnishings, including the tall wood font canopy, the marbled pulpit, low marble chancel screen and the pews.
The north chancel chapel takes up part of the north arcade and contains C16
C17 tombs.
The older of the two contains two recumbent effigies, probably Elizabethan or Jacobean, propped on their elbows, with the male figure above the female, both framed by an aedicule on a high predella, all of alabaster, richly decorated with strapwork, etc. On the predella there are the figures of children, 4 girls in low relief stiffly kneeling.
In the south chapel is a large monument of 1772 to G. Davies.
Almost lifesize marble figures, he stands while she reclines on an urn.
Stained glass: In the north aisle and north chapel, several windows of c1870-90 in a Renaissance style, the use of a lot of yellow in the classical architectural settings to figures of saints.
The chancel east window of 1858 is in a medieval style as are the saints in the clerestory windows, the west tower window and the south chapel which is of 1863.
There is more Renaissance style glass in the south aisle dated 1886 and 1889.
