The Porch

The porch is one of the most striking parts of the church. The sides are open with two circular shafts supporting open tracery. Such an elaborate porch helps to show that that the church was built by someone of considerable means, and this is borne out by much of the detail elsewhere in the church. Look for example at the decorative frieze around the parapet, which has unusual animals, including a 'Weasel' and various foliage.

The modern porch has glass sides for protection. Various notices are dispayed here, including nearby keyholders if the church is locked.
