Paired latticed lancet windows with tooled stone surrounds. Rose window to south-east gable. Pair of trefoil windows above vestry door. Timber battened entrance door with cast-iron furniture set in tooled ogee-headed surround with hood moulding. Grave markers to church grounds.

Prominently situated, on a fork in the road, this church contributes significantly to the character of the northern end of the town. The structure is enhanced by the well-finished stonework employed in its construction. Distinctive features which elevate the design include a rose window with sandstone quatrefoil tracery, an ogee-headed door surround and latticed lancets. Such artistically and technically significant elements enhance the architecture of the church.
