timbers probably original.
Chapel on the West, with ante-chapel, late C14. Restored by James Wyatt
in 1789-94 and by Sir Gilbert Scott, 1877-81. The sacristy and music room
on North are probably C15 but were restored in 1860. The South exterior

notable contemporary stained glass, reset 1948, and some of C18 and notable
