view of church exterior - southwest view

Source caption: "The church dates from the twelfth century onwards, having a Norman four bay north arcade with round piers, scalloped capitals and square abaci. There is a western tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory, a transeptal chapel, now a vestry, three bay chancel with north chapel, and north and south porches. The tower is perpendicular with four stages and an embattled parapet with eight crocketted pinnacles. There are six bells, and a carillon which plays three hymn tunes. The nave has a four bay north aisle, a five bay south aisle, and clerestory with three light windows. Most of the glass in the church is clear. The nave has a low pitched roof with bosses. There is a fifteenth century octagonal font with trefoil panels. In the north chapel, there is a fifteenth century effigy of a priest near the wall. The chancel has a four light east window with prayer boards either side, and blind arcading with textured tiles. The east end of the chancel and chapel were rebuilt in the mid eighteenth century, and again in the mid nineteenth century. There were also restorations from 1895 to 1903 by Prothero."
