West Tower, nave, chancel, south porch. Flint.
Unbuttressed west tower with belfry openings late Decorated or early Perpendicular period (around 1400). Flushwork battlements part replaced in brick. Stair turret on south. Good tower arch. Perpendicular west window. North doorway, blocked, also may be of the earlier date. Rest of church Perpendicular (15th century) though chancel southwest windows (with embattled demi-transom) has been renewed - is it accurate? East window also is recent, intersected thin tracery probably around 1800. North chancel wall has no windows but instead three buttresses, two of brick. The other walls of the church have 15th century buttresses. Chancel roof on arched braces, Perpendicular period with embattled wallplate. South doorway has headstops. South porch is 19th century. Weaver monument 1702. Plate (according to (S1) chalice, Norwich 1567; paten, Norwich 1636. Interior inaccessible at time of visit, but all above details visible through windows; interior seems plain and very Victorianised.
