Not illustrated. 1855 Excerpt: ...are of very good character, and seem to be of advanced FirstPointed date. There is a plain pointed doorway on the south-west, another on the north-west, and a south-east one to the chancel--which although sufficiently defined by the disposition of the windows, &c, is not distinguished in the architecture.
