Norman Doorway Arch

The archway around the entrance to the church is one of the few parts remaining of the 12th century building. The surrounding porch is from the 15th century restoration. It is said the benches to the sides are where the farmers waited to pay their tythes.

Gargoyles

The top corners of the church are decorated with gargoyles. Though much weathered, they still hold their menacing look.
