C13 west tower of carstone and limestone ashlar; early C14 belfry. Nave and aisles early C15; Chancel with C15 alterations. Predominantly brick with some rubble stone and lead roofs. Tower walls deteriorating largely due to previous cementitious pointing and render repairs causing mortar to fall away leaving deeply recessed and eroded joints or pockets of eroded stonework. Similar erosion elsewhere. Extensive cracking. Beetle attack. Medieval windows in need of urgent repair. Drainage in good working order.
