Outside and to the west of the porch lies the tomb of John Abel who died in 1674 aged 97. He was the designer of many Herefordshire timber buildings.

 

 

The windows are all 13th century except for the stained glass figures in the south chapel, which are 14th century.

There is a Norman window to the west in the nave, which now looks into the 13th century west tower, which is unbuttressed with battered base
