The presbytery elevation is supported by angle and clasping buttresses and shows the outlines of three lancet windows (now built up) with a corbel table of carved heads above it. The crossing tower has a stepped buttress at the north - east corner and a stair turret at the north - west and is topped by crow - stepped battlements. The outline of the first two bays of the nave are visible but are built up.
