glass protected by outer glazing lacking glazing bars. West gable wall, which
is rendered and painted white, and carries a gable bellcote, has a
semicircular Tuscan porch to the entrance. At the other end the 2-bay
2-storey presbytery has an added 2-storey canted bay window to the projecting
2nd bay, and a re-set doorway to a C20 lean-to extension. Brick stack in
front slope of roof. Interior of church; gallery at west end; round-headed
2-bay transept arcade with painted soffits, flat ceiling divided at the
