The grade II* listed church has a "chancel raised very much higher than nave, with polygonal apse and hipped roofs; chancel chapels. The source for this unusual and dramatic elevation of the chancel roof may be Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin's chapel at Alton Castle, Staffs (1847), and ultimately the C12 church of Les Saintes de la Mer, in Provence" https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1173834 .
