The tower has three short stages with a clock face on the south side and embattled parapets with corner pinnacles. The south nave aisle has four bays with the porch in the second bay. The porch has a pointed arch with dripmould, a round-headed niche in the gable and a cross finial at the apex. On either side of the gable are large corner pinnacles, and the east and west walls of the porch have short stepped buttresses.
