Overview
Grid reference: SE 313 450
In the middle of the park. The east towards the House from the main entrance gates. Both east and west fronts were given a more ornamental flavour in the late 18th century, and on the west front this simply took the form of giving battlements to the steeply sloping skylines of the aisles. The aisles fully embrace the tower, which rises higher only by one further modest stage.

Exterior Description
Both east and west fronts were given a more ornamental flavour in the late 18th century, and on the west front this simply took the form of giving battlements to the steeply sloping skylines of the aisles. The aisles fully embrace the tower, which rises higher only by one further modest stage.
In the main stage, over the west door, the tower has a big west window of five lights with fully developed tracery in the head including a double row of mouchettes divided by a castellated transom. The aisles have similar west windows, set lower down and smaller with only three principal lights. A prominent string course runs below the windows, rising to the level of the tower window and falling again; it runs round the buttresses which define the divisions between tower and aisles. On top of the tower is a small wooden bell-cage.
The late 18th century parapets appear again on the east front of the chancel and of the two chapels. The north aisle is expressed externally in seven bays of rather inconsistent pattern. The windows are all Perpendicular: two light with tracery in the extreme cast and west bays; three trefoiled lights with tracery in bays two, three, four and five counting from the cast; no windows in the sixth bay, which contains the moulded north doorway.
the south side of the church matches the north fairly closely, except that there is a buttress between the first and second bay and - more significant - a big south porch in the second bay fron the west.

Interior
Interior Description
The interior of the church conveys the impression of considerable size. The main arcades are of four bays, with slender octagonal piers having no capitals - though the outer order of the arches come down on to tiny moulded corbels both towards the central nave and aisles. There are also tall arches north and south in the choir (i.e. beyond the chancel arch) giving on to the chapels; and immediately beyond these arches are lower piered arched openings containing chest-tombs. West of the chancel arch, and before the first bay of the nave arcade proper, are low processional arches. The big north and south tower arcades, opening into the western bay of the aisles, must also have facilitated processions. The east arch of the tower is taller than the arcade, and that means that it is of considerable height.
Scott evidently renewed completely the roofs of the nave and aisles. The nave roof has big, slightly curved, tiebeams and all three roofs are more elaborate though essentially the same fore of construction as the nave; the panels, however, have decorative diagonal ribs.
Fixtures and fittings
Pulpit
Five sides of an octagon, with blank nodding ogee arches and carved heads all in freestone. Polished marble columns at the corners, and polished marble columns also supportingthe ribs of the base.
Pew (object)
By Scott. Of pine, they entirely fill the nave and aisles. The ends are curved and carved with fleurons, but they. are not specially elaborate.
Lectern
A wooden eagle lectern, of substantial size and good quality.
Stall
Twice the quantity of the average parish church with two runs on each side. Of oak, the clergy stalls are the most impressive parts of the design-reminiscent indeed, of Burges rather than of Scott.
Organ (object)
Three-manual, of 26, speaking stops. The case and the viated parclose screens to the chcir and surrounding the south chapel evidently by Scott. By Binns, Fitton and Haley of Leeds. The organ occupies most of the north chapel.
Font (object)
In south chapel. Very low.
