tower, of 4 unequal stages with clasping buttresses to the
first two and a narrow octagonal stair-turret at the
south-east corner, has a tall 3rd stage with 2 very tall
narrow 2-light traceried windows in each side (leaded glazing
now damaged), and a shorter top stage with clasping corner
pinnacles and two louvred 2-light belfry windows each under a
steeply-pitched gablet rising through the pierced parapet.
