No windows on south side of nave. Interior: Nave has C15 arch-braced collar rafter roof with three chamfered tie-beams; flagstone floors; late C19 pews replacing box pews; the latter reused as dado panelling. Late C17 polygonal pulpit with reader's desk given by John Hall, tester of 1765; C13 cylindrical stone font.
