Architectural Features
C15 with restorations and alterations by Ware and William White Local volcanic trap, Thorverton stone.
Exterior: some C13 chancel wall masonry.
Fine west tower of the last quarter of C14 with pronounced diagonal buttresses with concave weathering, south-east half-octagonal stair-turret, 3-light Perpendicular west window and moulded west doorway, large 2-light bell openings with transoms
South aisle and east windows, mid-C15, 3-light perpendicular but still with definite ogival forms.
Internally: chancel arch, C13, low narrow, double-chamfered, the inner order dying into responds.
North arcade piers rebuilt by Ware, arches by White, the medieval capitals retained.
Late-medieval ringing chamber roof, with C18 balusters to tower-arch gallery.
White's restoration through and sensitive: his organ chamber connected to both north aisle and chancel by moulded arches, the 1833 east aisle window moved east, a medieval sanctuary north window retained (3-light Perpendicular).
The setting-up of a diagonal spatial movement (so beloved by White) is reinforced by his squeezing of a low, narrowly-pointed arch between the east most pier of south arcade and chancel arch wall, into which space is fitted the pulpit.
Incised pattern suggests that White envisaged a total decorative scheme of which only tiles and furnishings were executed.
