Limestone ashlar and coarse small grade rubble. Leaded roofs, but Swithland slate to chancel. West tower, nave and 2 aisles clerestory and chancel. C15 west tower of 3 stages with angle buttresses, paired foiled lights to bell chamber, quatrefoil frieze, and gargoyles to embattled parapet.
Inside double chamfered west tower arch, the inner chamfer springing from high fluted corbels."
