Exterior Description
Tall, unaisled, and (with the exception of its turret at the north-west corner) without a break from north to south to mark any internal division it looks exactly like a College chapel. The building is four bays long, divided externally by buttresses and each bay containing a tall window of two cinquefoil-headed lights with a traceried head. The east window is a larger version, of three lights, and all have moulded labels supported on carved figure corbels. The building is flint-faced with a stone plinth, but materials and design seem here to be exactly fitted to one another.
Interior
Interior Description
The interior features tiled floors, of exceptional richness, with the pattern changing from ante-chapel to nave and from nave to sanctuary. The stone screen separates the ante-chapel, carved with a frieze of angels holding shields bearing the arms of Mozley, Oriel College, Roundell Palmer, Iittlemore church and mroe. The west door has fine traceried divisions and carved crockets. The roof is of ten bays.
