Summary

• Above the Norman arch are two levels of blind arcading with flat arches and primarily cushion capitals. Above the arcades is a frieze of billet molding. The two turrets have openings divided into two by central columns or flat pillars. Billet molding defines the arch for two openings and between the two levels on the south. Above are later added pinnacles and spires.
