pointed porch-arch with similar to north aisle doorway; buttressed
north aisle wall with single lancet windows and Lombard frieze.
Pointed-arched doorway to west end of nave with triplet lancet
window over; paired lancets in gabled end of north aisle to left.
Similar lancets in south nave wall, also with Lombard frieze.
Gable ends of transepts have paired lancets. Triplet east window
in angle-buttressed wall. Octagonal broach spirelet over belfry
with open trefoil-headed sides on narrow square tower.
Interior is limewashed with stone dressings. Three-bay north
arcade probably dating from enlargement has pointed arches and
circular piers with moulded capitals and bases. Pointed arches to
crossing with chamfered archivolt taken off corbels. Trefoil-
headed squint to left of nave arch. Bolted round-arched roof
trusses. Chancel has 7-bay arcaded reredos removed from Church of
St James (q.v.). Carved stone altar. C18 hexagonal panelled oak
pulpit on narrowing base; C19 pews taken from Church of St John,
Cheltenham, by J.B. Papworth. Octagonal stone font with marble
columns to base and stiff-leaf carving. Early C20 stained glass to
east window including middle light by Geoffrey Webb. A good and
unaltered example of a C19 chapel of ease.
