access to the space under the gallery, the mouldings of which (Fig.
1601) clearly indicate a late date. Adjoining this doorway is the
portion of the structure above alluded to as being of ancient date. This
consists of a plain buttress built with freestone ashlar, and a small
part of the south and west walls connected with it, including a base
splay on the south side. These walls are built with the same kind of
materials as the buttress, while the greater part of the walls are
constructed with rubble work. The buttress has the broad form with small
projection, and the simple water table of Norman or transition work.
The projection or “aisle” on the south side of the church has also
contained a private gallery, with a fireplace in the south wall. The
mouldings of the doorway indicate seventeenth or eighteenth century
work.
There are no windows in the north wall, but some portions of the masonry
are of ashlar work and may be of the period of the south-west angle.
The belfry, the vane of which bears the date of 1794, is a comparatively
late addition. It is supported on corbels projecting from the inside of
the wall.
