Blocked south doorway; 13th century with nail-head decoration. The voussoirs of the arch are described in the listing description as representing the signs of the zodiac, but they are now extremely eroded. The previous existence of a porch is clearly visible. It seems likely that the doorway was blocked up when the west door under the tower was constructed in the 18th century. Listed Grade I.
