"The tower rises some 22 metres from the ground and has a slim design. It was originally surmounted by four pinnacles. However during a storm in 1903, the wind blew one of them down and so, sadly, the others were dismantled too. Each wall contains a large louvred opening in the belfry. The base of the tower provides the entrance to the church through two glazed wooden doors which are decorated with wrought iron tracery."
