wall, are pre-conquest; tower added probably early C12, chancel extended C12,
south chapel added mid C15 and vestry C16. restored late C19. Early masonry of
coursed blocks with wide jointing. Long-and-short quoining to north-east corner
of nave stands proud; render to west wall suriving inside C19 gallery's stair
turret may be original. Later masonry of finer cut blocks, sometimes snecked;
chamfered plinth and string courses to east end. Graduated slate roofs with
stone copings. West tower, nave, and chancel. Various window types, mostly
mullioned; pre-conquest window with monolithic semicircular head to north side
of nave (blocked internally). Paired belfry opening on north side of 3-stage
tower is original, others are C19 reconstructions. Gabled south porch repaired
1880. Only west doorway, now opening into tower, is pre-conquest with rebates
and draw-bar slot to its inner jambs; south doorway cut through at later date.
Their carved tympana (possibly pre-conquest) were reset in their present
position during C19 restoration; west door's tympanum discovered when access for
present west gallery was constructed. North doorway (part-blocked) C12. South
chancel door mid C14, as is 2-seater sedilia and piscina in south
