Gabled porch with flat-headed opening contains a C12 round-arched doorway of a single order with beakhead moulding. Two C15 two-light flat-arched windows to right and one to left. Two similar windows, rebuilt, to chancel, flank a blocked priest's door. C13 lancet to right. C18 Venetian window in heavy plain surround to east end. No openings to north side but there is a blocked door to the right of the vestry. Coped gables and plain kneelers.
