1856-8 by Woodyer. Lively, rather Scandinavian bell-turret with spire. The nave roof sweeps down with a break into the aisle roof. ... The window surround in the aisles are deliberately not archaeologically correct ... The bell-turret stands inside not on wooden posts but on two slim stone piers which do not try to keep a modus vivendi with the arcade piers.
