A polygonal stair turret in the tower west wall has a stone capping roof above a thin band of window. The church entrance in the south wall of the tower, and has an arch moulded doorway. The west wall of the nave has decorative brick bands and five separate lancet windows slightly stepped in height with a relieving arch over them, and framed by stepped buttresses.
