East Williamston Parish Church

The nave and chancel have no differentiation. There is an unusual miniature tower at the W end and a small porch at the N. The stonework is only exposed on the N face and the top of the tower, where it is random rubble in local sandstone. The other faces, including the tower to a little above the level of the roof, are rendered but not painted. There is a slight batter to the foot of the N and W walls. The roof is of thin slates with a tile ridge.

The porch is of stone, very small, with a pointed brickwork outer arch. The intereior is painted white. The door is ledged, framed, braced and battened.

The window are all plain fixed lights of timber with either pointed or cambered brick heads and slate sills.The W wall of the tower stands on an external broad buttress with two corbelled increases. The E wall stands on corbelling out fron the W wall. The access door is in the N face, reached by steps formed in the top of the gable. There are double belfry lights to the E, and single to the S and W. There is no N belfry light, but a gap above the door serves the same purpose. The tower terminates in a military parapet with crenellations on a corbel table.

Nave and chancel of same width. The chancel roof is of two bays, with a collar-beam truss. Floor of red and black quarry tiles. One steps up to sanctuary. Oak altar with a carved reredos; the rails donated in 1939. The E window is pointed, in a squre opening; the S window narrow, also pointed and in a square opening. In the chancel three corbels from the earlier roof structure survive each side. The chancel arch is pointed and plain except for a slight chamfer. All the windows are plain glass.

The nave has opposed doorways at N and S, the latter blocked before the external face was rendered. The roof is of five bays with collar beam trusses. An old corbel survives over the N door. Ther is one square headed window in the N wall lighting the lectern and one in the S wall lighting the pulpit. The other two windows in the S wall lighting the mail part of the nave are square headed internally and pointed externally.

At the W of the nave is a curtained vestry. In the W wall is the bellrope recess, 0.7m wide by 0.4m deep, witha small blocked slit window. At high level each side are double corbels for th eN and S walls of the bellcote tower, and further corbelled courses to carry the E wall. In the floor of the tower are two bellrope holes.

Pulpit at right, donated in 1922. Eagle-lecternat left. The font, at the W end of the centre aisle, has a curious blacksmith's repair in the form of an iron band with two tightening wedges. The bowl is roughly octagonal with shallow pointed-arch decoration on each of the faces. Prehaps C13, on a modern tapering base.
