"The northwest tower rises in four stages to
stepped battlements decorated with flushwork arches, supported by a diagonal
buttress at the northwest angle and by a buttress at right angles between the
tower and nave W. wall. The lancets in the three lower stages of the tower to
the west suggest these parts are thirteenth century in date, although the
bell-stage with stepped flushwork arches is clearly Perpendicular."
