Externally a few of the mid
C13 windows are original, but most of the exterior is of 1877. Fine ashlar-faced
Perp W tower with higher stair-turret and pinnacles. It was built into the
nave early in the C16, as the straight-headed uncusped bell-openings
indicate. |

As so often, the architectural
history starts with the N arcade. It is of c.1200. Round pier, round
abaci, capitals of flat, broad, upright leaves, arches with one slight
chamfer. The corresponding S part has moulded capitals. Then followed, in
the mid C13, the continuation eastward on both sides with octagonal piers
and much dogtooth. |

The odd thing is that from the
third pier not only the next arch springs to the E, but also the chancel
arch and an arch across the aisles. So there is a chancel arch, but it has
no structurally emphasized supports. |
