North wall of 12 bays has similar blind arches set in similar square-headed recessed bays, and four-bay lean-to with moulded stone cornice and semi-circular arched east doorway with fanlight. South wall of 24 bays has offset buttresses dividing recessed bays each of which has similar frieze and cornice.
