arched outer and inner doorways, the outer chamfered in 2 orders with
pyramid stops, the inner with a plank door furnished with elaborate
hinges, a small lancet window in each side wall, and a steeply-pitched

a cinquefoil in the head, the north transept has a gable chimney to
the left of the apex, and the small gabled vestry to the left has a
