The three-stage tower has set-back buttresses ascending to pinnacles, with a very tall transomed two-light bell-chamber with windows on each face The embattled parapet has quatrefoil piercing, with big corner pinnacles and smaller intermediate pinnacles. The four-light west window has extensively restored tracery. This tower is of the East Mendip type,[1] and was completed around 1462.[2] It is 94 feet (29 metres) high to the top of the pinnacles.[3]
On the north wall of the tower is a roll of honour to victims of World War I. It is within a rectangular wooden case with a glazed door crowned by a triangular pediment and plaque below.[4]
The clock face features an unusual mistake as it is missing the X (10) replaced by an X1 and two XII (12).[5][6]
The vicar in 1843 was Charles Napier.[7]
