Hammer-dressed stone. Ashlar dressings. Pitched slate roof. Tile cresting.
Nave, chancel, lean-to aisles, "transepts", porches and west tower. Early English
style, with richly "Ecclesiological" interior.
Fittings include:
1. Exterior. Boarded doors with ornamental wrought iron hinges. Viking-style wrought
iron boot scrapers.
2. Interior. Exceptional wood and brass lectern. Marble reredos. Good organ
chest, with ornamental wrought iron hinges and stencilled patterns. Good woodwork,
especially the characteristically mid-C19 clerks desks and stalls. Very distinctive
and delicate ironwork surrounding pulpit, to communion rail, and for curtains on
