The top stage is the largest, and is almost completely filled by bell openings on each side.

Above them is a frieze containing quatrefoils, a battlemented parapet, and a tall crocketted pinnacle at each corner.

[1] There is a piscina in the south wall of the chancel, and brackets for statues on each side of the east window.

At the southeast corner of the north aisle is another piscina, this one dating from the 14th century, but it is damaged.

[3] In the churchyard are two items designated as Grade II listed buildings.

[13] At the entrance to the churchyard is a lychgate to the memory of Fanny Satterfield Hodgson who died in 1917.
