The low 14th-century west tower is built with large Chilmark stone blocks and flint chequers, and has a pyramid-shaped tiled roof. Around the church walls are a collection of gargoyles. In the 18thcentury, the nave was rebuilt in banded brick and flint, and in the construction of the north porch a doorway from the 12th or 13th century was reused.
