The church has an C11 chancel - Saxo-Norman overlap, as it is called - cf. the still Saxon tradition of the double splay of the windows, but the typically Norman flat buttresses. ... The chancel has an E window with reticulated tracery (early 1300s). ... In the E gable of the nave two blank arches, probably originally windows to give light to the rood. ... The W tower is of brick, blue and red, and dated 1703.
	The nave and its two-bay arcades are poor E.E. (Early English, i.e. early 1200s. Possibly poor but certainly unusual and interesting). The N arcade has as its pier a hardly treated chunk of wall and pointed arches with one slight chamfer. The S arcade has the same arches but a thick octagonal pier.
