The west tower is Early English as was the blocked north arcade and most of the remaining south arcade.

The clerestory is Perpendicular. William Bassett-Smith (1830-1901) carried out restoration in 1892-3. The pulpit is seventeenth-century.

The north arcade, of the Early English period, is blocked but not built into the north wall of the nave, as is often the case.
