Exterior Description
The masonry of this church is of rock-faced Derbyshire gritstone with copings and dressings of a darker stone; the roof coverings are of tiles. The west wall has large angle-buttresses at each corner, and a pointed doorway in the centre. The doorway is sheltered by a roof supported by the western arms of the buttresses. Above the porch are three trefoil-headed lancet lights under a continuous drip-moulding. The western walls of both lean-to aisles are built into the lower half of the buttresses; the side wall of the north aisle is windowless and is articulated solely by small buttresses, while the south aisle is lighted by small square-headed windows arranged in pairs. The large projecting gabled porch is of the same height as the aisle, and has a large pointed entrance doorway. The nave clerestory on both sides of the churcht has trefoiled lancet windows grouped in pairs. The division between nave and chancel is marked externally only be a clerestory buttress; just to the east of the buttress on the south side of the church is a transeptal organ chamber whose gable wall has a substantial central buttress with a narrow lancet window on either side, and two smaller side buttresses. Surmountingthe roof of the organ chamber is a small rectangular bell-cote with double-arched openings and a leaded pyramidal roof. The east wall of the church rises abruptly from the edge of a road, the lower part of the wall is blind, but the upper part is filled by a window of five unequal lancet lights.
