Tower
The
tower is of timber frame construction with brick infill. The outer
walls are covered with cedar shingles. A shingled spire surmounts the
tower. The shingles were replaced in 2012 as part of the work to
replace the church roof. During work on the tower parts of the 1878
oak frame were found to be rotten. Remedial work was undertaken and
metal plates were used to provide additional support at the joints.
