Gabled transept with tall 2-light Geometrical tracery windows. Cusped lancet to each side of polygonal chancel. Two 2-light west windows.
The octagonal tower rises from a square via broaches; it has cusped belfry openings, a broach spire with lucarnes and a square stair turret in the angle between chancel and organ chamber.
