Pointed elliptical window above has moulded surround. Gable has small louvred wood bellcote. Far-projecting vestry, possibly a later addition, at right angles to north aisle, has west door with hood mould continued across wall. North window. Blank east wall of imitation ashlar cement. Interior: Plastered or whitewashed walls. Chancel has 2 pairs of sedilia. Small elaborate niche and bracket on north wall has trefoiled arch with shafts and gable, and bracket supported on stiff-leaves clasped in a hand.
