Tudor priest's door on south side of chancel. Blocked doorway with pointed arch in west wall of north aisle. South porch is single-storeyed; moulded inner and outer doorways with pointed arches, wagon-roof.

Crenellated parapet with large octagonal pinnacle at each corner. Heavily moulded west door. Unusually elaborate belfry openings of 3 lights. Interior: nave and chancel have a continuous arcade of 6 arches each side; octagonal columns with double-chamfered arches. Moulded tower arch with attached shafts.
