Survey by Pevsner 'St John's Green (Now St John Ambulance depot). Small; nave with chancel and N chapel. The W tower of timber, weather boarded, as well as the present interior of the nave are 1819. Thin N and S arcade shafts and W gallery. Flat ceiling. The N windows however, with Perp tracery all straightened out, may well be the posthumous Gothic of the C17, as the Royal Commission suggests. Of 1907 (Sir A. Blomfield & Son) the brick N and S chancel arcades and the s chapel. But the brick S porch is original early C16 work. In the chancel E of the arcade a C13 lancet window has been discovered. N chapel of c1500- DOOR, N doorway. C14 with rich tracery.- PALL. Of the Lucas family, dated 1628.
