The apse has three semicircular-headed windows with chamfered head and a
sill band.

INTERIOR: truss at west end of nave with wall posts and arch braces

chevron ornament, the responds of two plain orders have moulded imposts with
diaper enrichment. The apse arch is also semicircular and of two orders,

bosses of 1870. Fittings: C17 altar rail with turned balusters. In chancel
