central tower with triple arcade to the bell stage and circular openings above,
capped by a broach spire. Slate roof, leaded to tower and nave. Inside, the C13
moulded arches have circular columns between chancel and chapel and octagonal

in the south chapel) of the C18 and early C19. The font bowl from Westbury
