The southern tower looks totally misplaced and detached from the church but it is the main entrance, now joined to the church by the south aisle. It is an unusual configuration. Above the roofline of the nave, a Sanctus bell is hung in a small stone turret. At one time fire buckets hung from the ceiling of the porch, but now only their hooks remain. Inside the nave now however, four remaining buckets inaccessibly hang from a rail. The south doorway is late 13th c. and is of a fine quality with two engaged columns either side. The nave roof has large floral bosses at the intersections of the timbers while angels with outspread wings hang from the timber corbels.
