Notes
The church is a single cell with a tower at one end and a porch. The new chapel, which projects from the south wall of the church, is rectangular in plan, with a tripartite window in its south wall and an entrance on the east side. The monument to Sir Bernard Brocas by Thomas Carter stands in the centre of the chapel. A feint pencil line suggests either the length of the former chapel or an alteration to the new design.
