blank keyed oculus with a short section of chamfered string
course beneath. In the upper stage are single wooden latticed
semi-circular headed belfry lights in the 4 sides. North of
tower is a small C19 boiler house. Nave north wall has plinth,
plain eaves course and raised stone coped gable to lead roof.
Single 2 light window, the lights having semi-circular heads,

simple impost blocks, contained within a semi-circular headed
arch with raised keystone and chamfered plain reveals. Short
ashlar apse with plinth and moulded eaves course. Central

the vestibule, and dado panelling to apse and pew ends is all

Dunkin, d.1838, in the form of a Greek altar with anthemion in
pediment and flaming urn with acanthus base above. In the
chancel are good stained glass windows, and the early nave
windows retain their delicate geometric lead cames.
