Exterior Description
The church is built of soft red brick with decorative bands of stone, sparingly used, and a minimum of stone tracery in the two principal west windows. The style is Early English. East, north and south elevations are ex tremely severe and only on the west front and the shallow projecting tower did the architect allow himself a modicum of Butterfieldian embellishment. Above the two principal west windows is a prominent string-course supporting a row of five gently stepped lancets; above those, at the top of the gable, is a circular opening to light and ventilate the roof space .
