E gable has angle buttresses, triple lancets with trefoils over the outer ones, paired trefoil-headed N side lights, and a left-hand lateral stack; the taller gable of the nave behind has N diagonal buttress, and the SE vestry gable has low right-hand paired trefoil-headed lights and a small lancet in the top of the gable. N transept gable has a hexafoil light in the top and lancets either side of an open timber gabled porch on a dwarf wall with arched braces, to a moulded 2-centre arched doorway with double cross-boarded door; 3-bay nave has 2-light plate tracery windows with quatrefoils, separated by buttresses. Coped W gable has a cross finial, a gabled stone porch with moulded 2-centre arched doorway and cross-boarded double doors, and lancets either side and above. S side as the N, with no transept porch. Steep nave roof has 3 louvred dormer vents and a diagonally-set square cupola with tall pyramidal roof near the W end.

Memorials include one to an accidental explosion of 1885. Stained glass memorials mostly from 18908.
