West end: tall central buttress with chamfered offsets and flanking trefoil-headed chamfered lancets linked by continuous cill string and hoodmould, both with carved stops. East end: east window with 3 trefoil-headed lights (centre ogee), cusped circles in tracery, chamfered reveals, and hoodmould with carved stops; cill string, dropping at sides of window, returning along the north and south walls, and ending in the second bay from east with carved stops; small cusped opening in apex of gable above window.

This church replaced the old church of St. Mary (q.v.) which subsequently fell into ruin. D.H.S.
