Below the parapet are stone gargoyles.

The east window of the south aisle is of three lights with renewed Perpendicular tracery under a Tudor-arched head.

The door to the right of the left-hand window has a chamfered ogee arch with a carved head in the centre of its hood mould.

The south aisle roof also appears to be a C20 renewal, but the north aisle roof may be C16 and has chamfered rafters and a moulded ridge and principals.

Between them is a vestry doorway with moulded Tudor arch and ribbed plank door.
