The Tower
The 13th Century tower rests on four uniform arches. They were inserted at the time of the church restoration in 1890.
The tower itself is lit by two lancet windows and contains a ring of eight bells in the key of E major.
The clock was made by EJ Dent, makers of Big Ben, and is mentioned in their catalogue of 1877. It was designed by EB Dennison and strikes each hour on the Tenor Bell. There are two external clock faces on the south and north walls of the tower. The dials are approximately four feet in diameter and are painted black with gilt Roman numerals.
Underneath the tower inside the church is the dark oak Jacobean pulpit, hexagonal in shape and richly carved with applied decoration.
