Architectural Features

The short C14 3 stage tower has moulded plinth, chamfered string courses, castellated parapet with angle beast corbels, castellated pinnacle bases to the corners and stepped full height angle buttresses.

The C15 west door has a hollow chamfered surround, 4 centred head and moulded hood.

Above is a C15 3 light window with trefoil heads to lights, panel tracery, hollow chamfered surround and hood.

The C14 tower arch also has octagonal responds, moulded capitals and single chamfered head, all in a continuous single chamfered surround.

The font is medieval, but the cover is obviously a later addition.

All fittings are C19 including painted metal commandment boards, but the font is C14 with octagonal base, shaft and bowl having blank shields in quatrelobes to the side, with C19 conical pulley operated cover.

The font is medieval, but the cover is obviously a later addition.
