Above the pointed nave arcade arches are the remnants
of the tops of a Romanesque window. The stonework beneath and
partially underlying these is a course, irregular herringbone.
The chancel arch is a flattened Romansque arch, probably of
Anglo-Saxon date, as too is the tower. Above the tower arch is a
blocked first floor doorway which also points to an Anglo-Saxon
construction date. The tower also has a fine Romanesque west
door. The top storey is later and set upon a curious moulded
string course with a chamfered offset above.
