reveals, and at the east end on each side are large lights with mullioned and tran-
somed wooden frames. The west end has a thin wall in line with the timbers supporting
the bell turret, with a central arched opening and on each side a C18 doorcase with

part cut off by the lowered eaves). The south door is a tall narrow opening with a
round arch (Saxon), decorated on the outside. Fittings include a plain round font
(old - but restored), a wooden chest of 1536, and a fine longcase clock of about 1720
(a recent gift). The porch (C18) is of brickwork, with flint side panels and a tiled
roof.
