Square chancel has rusticated quoins, sill band, cornice and parapet, with blind lunette with Gibbsian architrave on Moor's head corbels below the band; 4-bay N elevation of semicircular-arched windows with panelled architraves, imposts and keys, aprons below the band and plain frieze under cornice, with sections of blind balustrade over windows. Similar S elevation.

INTERIOR: fine and complete. At E end winged cherubs round the lunette, with octagonal coffering to chancel ceiling, and a cornice running round into a pulvinated frieze flanking semicircular chancel arch, on fluted pilasters; panelled wainscotting with winged cherub-head corbels to fluted pilasters flanking windows, coffered reveals, and plaster decoration to spandrels; at W end a shouldered architrave with console key below pediment leads to octagonal vestibule, semicircular keyed arches either side, below 3 equal arches to gallery, with blind balustrades to flanking elliptical arches, and niches between containing busts. FITTINGS: pulpit with tester by Paty, carved with trophies; hexagonal baluster font 1755 by Thomas Paty; marble Communion table on gilded eagle in style of Kent.
