Summary

• At the bottom of the tower is a trefoiled blind arcade. The hood molding over the blind arcade has carved heads between each arch. Above the blind arcade is a level of three stepped lancets with windows in the center and blind arches on the sides. There is extensive dogtooth ornamentation in all of the arches, between the column shafts and on the string courses at the bottom of each window level. All of the shafts on the sides of the windows and the blind arches have molded capitals.
