Description

Built with plenty of Roman bricks, and crowned by a recent low pyramid roof. Small W doorway and triangular head, a wholly Saxon feature. E arch into the nave with odd capitals of the responds in three steps of brick, without any mouldings. Saxon upper window, the bell-openings developed as twin windows but nor separated by a turned shaft or colonnette as usual. On the sides below that stage traces of a black arcade. The rest of the church is of 1886, except for the E end of the chancel with early C14 three light window with flowing tracery, the S arcade, which is C14 too, and the outside of the S aisle and the S porch, which are of the C15.- FONT. Perp, octagonal, with shields and knobbly foliage in the panels.-PLATE. Fine Mazer, C15'<1>
