The west end has a roll-moulded plinth and a large central buttress supporting the bell-cote. The south aisle was removed, leaving a blocked two-bay arcade reset in the south wall. Stained glass has been dated to about 1300 and the fourteenth century. Listed Grade II* on 20 September 1966 (NHLE 1360324; list title ‘Church of St Maragret’).
