Tower houses one original bell 1855 C & G Mears: and eight tubular bells Harrington Latham & Co., these were given as part of a First World War Memorial.
The tower is square built with three Chimeras on each of the four faces, these look at first glance to be gargoyles but there is a seperate drain chute to take rain water away. Height of the tower is 70 feet, and also houses a clock with two faces.
Church, with tower, dates from 1855 and is built from local stone. Grade II listed....
