The tower and the east wall of the chancel are of the early 13th century, Restored in 1863-4 by Sir Gilbert Scott, who re-roofed the chancel and nave. At the same time the spire was added to the tower. During these alterations the tower arch was discovered and the opening in the east wall of the ringing chamber brought to light.

The tower is in one stage externally, and has restored buttresses of one offset at the western angles. The tower arch is pointed and of two chamfered orders with labels. The outer order is the full width of the tower and springs from chamfered abaci, but the inner one is carried on corbels, round which the chamfered abacus is continued. The ground stage is lighted by three restored lancets with widely splayed inner jambs in the side and west walls. The inner splays of the west light have been carried down to form the jambs of a pointed doorway of two chamfered orders, while below the sill a small segmental arch has been thrown. Over the west window of the ringing chamber is a small square headed light with original inner jambs and pointed rear arch, while at the south-east of this story, looking on to the roof, is an original pointed doorway. Opening into the bell-chamber are four single lights, one in each wall; the south window is four-centred, but the others are pointed. All have original rounded rear arches, but the outer face of the east window is modern. The tower is finished by a modern broach spire covered with shingles. The walls are faced chiefly with flint, although a certain amount of chalk has also been used, while the mortar joints have been galleted with flint.

There is a ring of eight bells: the treble and second are by Mears & Stainbank, 1890, who at that date recast the fifth, which was originally made by Thomas Swaine in 1775; the third is also by Mears & Stainbank, 1872, while the fourth, sixth, seventh and the tenor were all cast by Thomas Swaine in 1775
