Architecture
The architectural style of the church was Decorated. Its plan consisted of a five-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a three-bay chancel with vestries, a north porch, and a northwest bell turret. The bell turret was octagonal, surmounted by a cross, and decorated with crocket-like round ornaments. The east window had three main lights, the windows along the sides of the aisles, two lights, and the west window, four lights above which were two quatrefoils and a large sexfoil. There were five windows on each side of the clerestory. Inside the church the open timber roof of the nave was supported by corbels in the form of angels carrying shields.
