Full description
Decorated tower, shattered at top, tall tower arch, and above rough slit window into now roofless Decorated nave with north and south doors unusually in centre of walls, south door having an elaborate porch, also roofless: outer step is medieval coffin slab. Both door arches are larger inside than out. Chancel of same date, tracery renewed in part, blocked ogee priest's door; but with west extension into nave added in either 1830 or 1874, probably latter: church was restored in both years. It has an upper gallery reached by an external stair to an old door reset. Stepped gables on chancel - date? - and it was obviously walled off before the extension was added because in the slight step between the two (on line of original nave wall) is a blocked window. The chancel arch remains inside however. Sedilia and piscina under the set of four arches, each stepped down at base. Early 15th century brass. Hatchments. Old stained glass, some Flemish reset as memorial. Arms of Charles II in stained glass in east window. Good early 19th century Gothick memorials. 17th to 18th century floor tombs. Octagonal font disused under tower. Chalice and patens unmarked. In fairly good condition though crumbling.
