Description of Archaeology and History

Exterior Description
The building is in the restrained Romanesque style so favoured for small churches in the period between the World Wars, with Arts and Crafts influence plainly visible. The building is externally simple and exceptionally modest, consisting of a tall gabled box with nave and chancel in one and shallow transepts with projecting gables of the same pitch and height.
The fenestration is similarly symmetrical, with three-light stepped round-headed lancet windows with separate hood-moulds in each gable except the west, which has a single small lancet to light the gallery under a louvred belfry opening high in the gable. The chancel and nave are further lit by three short round-headed windows of Georgian appearance with mullions in each side wall. There is an arched doorway at the west end of the nave side walls.
