Architectural Features

The west tower is of three stages with angle buttresses and with a lead pyramid roof behind embattled parapets with gargoyles.

The west window is of three lights under a Tudor-arched head.

Some traces of wall painting are visible on the west arch: red scrollwork and blue background painting.

The soffit of the arch is decorated with late C12 wall painting with roundels containing the head of Christ and four saints.

Above is a timber rood canopy with embattled top beam and with carved bosses at the intersections of its ribs.

The inner lintel of the east chancel window is of oak and has a central carved head of a 'green man'.
