Flat-roofed porch has a moulded doorway with a keyblock and rounded recessed corners; similar corners to organ chamber. Sides have shallow banding and centres are slightly recessed. Round-headed windows to nave glazed with leaded panes of thick opaque glass. Low lobby at west end has a segmental-headed doorway on the south side and an original 2-leaf segmental-headed 2-leaf door in a late C17 style with 2 big fielded panels to each leaf. INTERIOR: Coved roof of exposed timbers to the nave; full set of original oak fittings including altar, reredos; pulpit with carved heads; benches; panelled dado.
