Architectural Features

The tower is of three stages with diagonal buttresses and has an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles and gargoyles.

The hoodmould has carved animals as stops.

The chancel screen has traceried openings and appears to be mainly late medieval.

Memorials in the chancel include a marble cartouche with cherubs' heads, a skull, and shield of arms, to Mrs Rebeca Parry, died 1704, and John Parry, died 1714.

The octagonal font is carved with ropework and other decoration and appears to be re-tooled, possibly made from a re-used piece of stone.
