At the south-east corner of the tower is a circular stair turret. The round apsidal east end is lit by three three-light windows, with large trefoils in the heads. The bell openings have curious and elaborate tracery. Three tall dormers serve as clerestory windows on either side of the nave.

Interior
Interior Description
Inside the building, the use of coloured bricks over the arches of the arcade is a characteristically Teulon device which lends interest to what is otherwise a rather straightforward nave interior. The piers of the arcade are octagonal, with moulded capitals. The sanctuary has been whitened.
