Architectural Features

The 2 stage tower is partly of C16 and was originally entirely of limestone.

Above is a C16 2 light window apparently in situ with 4 centred arched heads to the lights and plain chamfered surround.

In the south aisle east wall is a single lancet and in the south wall a plain rectangular light and a much restored C14 3 light window with cusped ogee heads to the lights, moulded surround and C19 hood.

There is an entirely C19 cusped 2 light window beyond the porch and in the west wall a late C13 trefoil headed lancet.

The south porch of 1884 is timber framed, gabled, with elaborate cusped bargeboard and the inner doorway is C13, single chamfered with hood.

The c.1300 north arcade is of 4 bays having quatrefoil shafts, moulded capitals, double chamfered arches and plain hoods.

The late C13 south arcade is of 3 bays with octagonal pillars, moulded capitals and double chamfered arches.

In the south aisle is a hacked back C13 piscina in arched recess.

Fittings are all C19 apart from the C14 octagonal font with alternating blank arches on the sides and a scalloped octagonal pedestal.

The C17 pulpit has been almost totally reconstructed in C19.

In the south aisle is a C17 chest with panelled front and paterae to the upper rail.
