Round-headed three-light lancet style window to west elevation and three round-headed windows to chancel with limestone surrounds and hoodmoulding. Round-headed Romanesque style door opening set in gable fronted porch with carved chevron surround flanked by engaged columns, with chevron decoration to gable edge.

Appraisal
This church is apparent of architectural form and design. Designed by J.F. Fuller, the church is executed with attention to detail. The main entrance with its Romanesque door surround and chevron decoration is of particular interest. It is of a similar style used in Saint Carthage's Catholic Church, also designed by Fuller and Saint Carthage's Church situated on the site of the old abbey. As the church now functions as a house, the survival of the graveyard is a noteworthy feature.
