The W transept is detailed as the church proper. Its roof has a lower ridge and eaves. Its N elevation is abutted by a range of single storey buildings, which adjoin to the main accommodation (of no interest). Its S elevation has three windows. Its SW corner has a slender red brick tower with a pitched copper roof and concrete dressed vented belfry. The W gable of the transept is abutted by a later red brick link block.
