The South Doorway

Long ago built up, this Romanesque arch is the finest feature of the kirk, though it is sadly in poor repair. The arch incorporates four orders, mouldings and chevrons alternating, and the pillars have foliage capitals. It would originally have had more masonry projecting above it.
