lights with a quatrefoil under a pointed head. The north doorway is moulded
and pointed. The aisles are of five bays, with alternate paired lancets and
round windows. The clerestory has single lancets. The transeptal chapels
each have two lancets with a round window above. At the east end is a rose
window. Interior: three-bay nave arcades with pointed moulded brick arches
springing from painted round columns with moulded capitals. The roof has
