Minor stepped buttresses occur, one on the west side of the south elevation, another at the east side of the north elevation and the east side of the porch: A massive 3-stepped buttress is centrally placed on the east gable with a trefoil-headed niche in the upper part. All the openings are slender lancets (5 on each long side, with smaller coupled lights at the east side and a group of 4 within the transept), and porch (partly masked by a later structure) has a pointed arch in 2 stages and the whole of the wall above contains the chequered pattern, with rosettes in alternate tiles. within, there is an arch braced timber roof, very deep window reveals, a continuous weathered cill band, and 2 flush bands of block brickwork (one at impost level). At the west end is a 2-storeyed timber Gothic screen, with 3 cusped arcading, a gallery rail, and misericord seats. The windows contain stained glass.
