The nave has lancet windows and lacks a clerestory, while the south aisle features 2-light plate tracery with alternate groups that are taller and rise to form half dormers. The east end has stepped lancets. The square tower consists of three stages, an openwork parapet, and pinnacles, with a clock located on the second stage and an entrance on the south side.
