The central bay contains a chamfered arched doorway with a hood mould, while the easternmost bay features a single 15th-century window opening that originally had tracery beneath a flat arch. There are also remnants of late 12th-century shafts in the chancel arch and a single round respond for the chantry arch. The early 12th-century south doorway displays remnants of zigzag decoration. This church served as the domestic chapel for the Stanhope and Holles families.
