second storey had been removed by his time. The large three-light east window, in geometric style with a crowning quatrefoil, is late 19th century. The south aisle has a lead roof with a shallow pitch. The west part is 15th century, the east part early 19th century (the colour of the flintwork gives this away). Each corner has a massive diagonal buttress, with a third one where the original east corner used to be. The older part has two two-light windows and a moulded arched doorway with a hood mould, while the newer part has two three-light windows. One of these faces east. These two windows are medieval salvage; it is likely that they were at the end of the original aisle and in the south wall of the chancel originally. There is also a Baroque wall monument commemorating Robert Harvey, who died in 1740, and his family. Interior fabric The interior is in white, including the blank plaster vaulted ceiling which covers both nave and chancel despite the difference in height outside. There is no chancel arch, but Francis Blomefield noted that there was still a surviving wooden rood screen in the 18th century. The 14th-century early Perpendicular nave arcade has two arches, with a central quatrefoil column with a capital, double ogee moulded archivolts and a pair of responds with matching capitals. The arcade is continued by two 1832 arches flanking the chancel, which have more simple moulding and no capitals. In contrast to the other two arches, these two are plastered. The north wall of the chancel has an ornate moulded doorway, now blocked, which used to lead into the (now demolished) vestry. The south wall of the aisle has the piscina of the original medieval altar which was here before the aisle was extended. This now houses a polychrome painted head-and-shoulders stone bust of St Mary the Virgin, donated to the church. The floor is in small hexagonal tiles and locally made bricks. The tower arch is regarded as the original west doorway, before the tower was added. It has a rough semi-circular arched top, with the voussoirs exposed. Above it, and just off the major axis to the south, is a Sanctus bell window (the inserted vaulted ceiling cuts through the top of this). This enabled someone in the tower to ring the church bell at the Elevation during Mass. The offset position would allow
