stages and another at impost level of the top stage; a west doorway with
set-in shafts, a single-light window in each side of each of the first 3
stages (except the south side of the lst), all with pilaster jambs, louvred
2-light belfry windows with central and set-in shafts with carved capitals,
and a corbel table to a pyramidal lead roof with a finial. The 5-bay nave
has granite lesenes and a Lombard frieze to each bay, a gabled porch to
the 4th bay with a Norman-style doorway including set-in shafts and
carved extrados, and single-light windows in the other bays (like those in
the tower); the west corner has a clasping pilaster, and the west gable
wall has 2 similar windows and, in the gable above, a triple-light window
which has shafts with cushion capitals and a sill-band. The gables are
coped, with a cross at the east end. The one-bay chancel is in matching
style, and has a large triple-fight east window. The 5-bay south aisle
matches the nave. Interior: white-painted unplastered walls with splayed
window embrasures; 5-bay aisle arcade of cylindrical columns with
scalloped caps and chamfered semicircular arches; semicircular chancel
arch with slender set-in shafts and dog-tooth ornament round the head;

braced collar truss roof supported by slender wallposts on large scalloped
corbels; very fine Norman bowl font of c.llOO, said to be from former
chapel of St Derwa at Menadarva, with interlaced inverted semicircles
below 2 ropework bands round the bowl and incised zigzag round the rim.
