5 12th century W doorway, blocked 12th century S door. Restorations 19th century and 20th century – later medieval windows removed and replaced with ones in the 12th century style. Font possibly on earlier pierbase. External drains – shallow trench – appears to have cut away part of the plinth on N and S nave walls. Probably good survival of below-floor deposits.
