Chancel is C13 in origin with opposing lancet windows to north and south walls and restored east window of five graduated lancets. The north transept was added in 1869 but the north aisle retains two windows of two cinquefoil lights, in two centred arches, C14 and of clunch. Interior: Nave arcade in five bays. North arcade two centred arches of two chamfered orders on octagonal columns. The chamfers have broach stops. The south arcade is possibly a little later. Similar arches on columns of four shafts with hollows in the angles. Moulded capital and base are good examples of C14 work. Pulpit: C14 of oak, repaired base with inserted C15 panels of St. John the Divine and St. Elizabeth of Hungary to two sides.
