The carving in the tympanum depicts Christ in Majesty, in an oval, beaded mandorla, holding a closed book in his left hand and raising his right hand in blessing. The face of Christ is damaged; it is suggested to have been done by iconoclasts. The mandorla is surrounded and gripped by four flying angels. Cable-moulding frames the upper part of the tympanum, which sits below a two-ordered arch within a modern porch.
