North porch very simple with outer chamfered semi- circular arch of uncertain date; bench seats; inner arch has roll and dog-tooth orders, capitals apparently cut away, plain tympanum with later statue bracket and headless statue said to be of French origin, old plank door with simple ironwork of uncertain date. Internally, the chancel has a plastered barrel vault ceiling, trefoil rere-arches to all side windows, and C13/C14 wall paintings to all window reveals and the North wall, Coronation of the Virgin, rather touched-up in places, as well as the chancel arch, 'ashlar' with floral pattern. Chancel arch of 3 orders including dog-tooth and chevron decoration, scalloped and carved capitals. Nave has simple arch supported collar trusses in 4-bays, with 3 purlins each slope, formerly with plaster barrel vault ceiling; plain chamfer window reveals; C13/C14 wall painting on North wall featuring Death of Virgin Mary; round tub font with cable mould on turned base.
