Watershot stone with slate roof. Nave and aisles under one
roof with small chancel and west tower (galleries have been

weathered buttresses (set back at corners), a gallery door
in the west bay (now blocked) and lancet shaped windows but

the revival of this type. 1-bay chancel with 4-light east
window. 3-stage tower has octagonal corner piers which are
buttressed and rise as pinnacles, windows (as above) to the
second and third stage and a clock aperture in stage two.

moulded heads. Coved ceiling. Alabaster font in the form of
an angel holding a shell. Organ by Renn. Stained glass by
Lightfoot. Carved timber pulpit, reredos and organ casing.
