There is not very much to interest the visitor here, but it is a striking building. The tower is well proportioned and has clock-faces above the belfry chamber. The nave with its clerestory, lights up the interior, especially when the sun shines. The roof is of cambered tie-beam construction. When the Victorian chancel was built, a new piscina and two sedilia were incorporated. I was surprised to see that the lovely old 15th century font had been painted to match the cornice and angels below the clerestory windows. The altar rail seems to have suffered the same regrettable fate. In my opinion, it is not the best approach to brightening up a church.
