building with nave and aisles, and projecting chancel, all in Portland stone.
Segmental headed windows to ground floor, upper windows round headed, all with
moulded architraves. Plinth, upper window cill band, cornice and blocking course.
West end breaks forward slightly in centre under pediment and has tetrastyle
Doric columned porch with triglyph frieze, cornice with mutules and blocking
course. Platform with steps up. Hipped slate roof, wooden clock tower with
open belfry and cupola. Excellent unrestored interior with complete original
fittings - box pews, pulpit with sounding board, galleries and organ. A very
