Notes
The Church has an untidy cruciform plan with a four-bay south aisle that is larger than the three-bay north aisle. The piers between the nave and the north aisle are octagonal on plan, those to the south are circular on plan. In fact, the south aisle extension to the east contains the Beaumont chapel.
There is a block plan of Coleorton Church on an imprecise survey drawing of Coleorton dated 27 December 1802 [SM D1/9/3] that more or less corresponds to the plan shown here.
