On the north side of the church, seen from Leslie Road. The church was designed by the Surrey-born architect, Edwin Lutyens, at an early stage in his career. There is little about the window to suggest the building's purpose - but the intention was that the nave would also serve as a village hall. A typical 'early Lutyens' touch is the use of tiles - laid so that only their edges are visible - in a frieze just below the eaves - compare http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2986962 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2204583 Lower down in the wall, tiles are again used decoratively - but the arrangement is oddly haphazard.
