Tower: two stages, string course above ridge of nave, angle buttresses to west, corbelled parapet, lancet west window, lancets on each face of second stage.

Chancel: C13 and C14 lancets, the east window is a pair of trefoil- headed lancets, probably late C14; blocked C13 priests' door with sundial incised on east jamb, between two lancets on south side. South transept: large C14 south window of two lights with trefoiled heads, above are two corbel heads beneath a stone ledge. North porch: perhaps C14 or C15, much restored, trusses comprising two sets of moulded arch braces support- ing two tie-beams, moulded to match at their junctions. Entrance from north through square-headed chamfered doorway, probably C14.

Interior: the nave is separated from south transept by a C14 arcade consisting of one octagonal column supporting two 2-centred arches springing from ground level at north and south; C13 two-centred chamfered chancel arch and tower arch. West roofs are ceiled in the form of barrels (RCHM notes curved braces on wind-braces in nave); that of south transept has four C17 moulded brackets, one to each corner, which presently support nothing. Chancel: ceiled wagon roof, probably mid-C19; south-east window has semi- circle cut out of its cill to form a high shelf, probably mid-C19.

Three piscinas all C14, two with trefoiled heads and ball-flower enrichments, foiled drains, one in splay of south-east window of the chancel, another in south-east corner of the nave; the third, without ball-flowers, is in the south wall of the south transept, adjacent in east wall, a large corbel with cavetto mouldings, perhaps C16.
