As with so many church clocks this one is blue with gold numerals. It was decreed by Henry VIII that church clocks should be 'blew with the signs upon them gilt'. This was decreed according to Exodus Chapter 39, when God commanded Moses to make priests garments of blue with Gold bells.
The church is of an unusual design. The tower is central, but there are no transepts. Instead, a south aisle runs to the eastern edge of the tower. A clerestory of just three windows runs from the western edge of the structure to the inner edge of the tower.
