Summary

• The doorway has a depressed arch with a blind trefoiled arcade of two arches on each side with crockets extending from each cusp of the trefoils. The capitals are all stiff-leaf. The three tall stepped lancet windows have trefoiled arches with stiff-leaf paterae in the spandrels and dog-tooth in the arches. Between the string course above the doorway and the bottom of the windows is reconstructed Perpendicular Gothic. The capitals on the sides of the windows are also Perpendicular.
