Exterior Description
A small building with walls of irregular flint and stone chequerwork, with the exception of the north wall, which has been rendered. The chancel is the earliest part of the building and very small; the north and south walls are substantially original and are both pierced by a single small lancet window. The east wall and twin light window are both 19th century. The eastern gable of the nave roof is unusual in having cusped barge-boarding, presumably this is another Victorian addition. The small nave has only two windows; that on the north, with two trefoiled lights, dates from 1845 but the other is of early 16th century type having four traceried lights under a Tudor arch with a drip moulding. On the west side of the older window is the porch which has a pitched roof with a stone cross on the point of the gable. The doorway of the porch has a four-centred head with a drip-moulding. The west wall has a small two light window; and at the top of the wall is a small wooden bela-cotre on a stone plinth.
