Architectural Features

West front, has at its centre a projecting flat roofed porch built by Hodgson Fowler late in the C19, and incorporating the C13 west door.

The porch is built against the blocking of the C13 chancel arch, visible to either side and having a double chamfer.

To either side of the arch, the responds of the C13 nave arcades remain.

The east wall of the chancel contains a late C14 3 light window, the mullions and upper parts of which are a C19 restoration.

Immediately above is a probably contemporary early C14 2 light window, the lights having cusped ogee trefoil heads with quatrefoil over contained within a pointed single chamfered arch with a chamfered hood mould and human head label stops.

the shape of the chancel arch is visible in the east wall, and to either side of the C19 west door are recesses, the heads of which are made from reused sections of C13 roll mouldings.

Sanctuary floor has Minton tiles.

The bowl also octagonal, and in the square side panels are angels, a Tudor rose, other flowers and pairs of figures.

In the reveal of the south priest's door is a loose C13 base, octagonal, with nail head decoration, doubtless from the demolished nave arcade.
