The south porch of St Michael. Inside the church, the Norman north doorway of circa 1150 is notable, having unusual proportions, tall and narrow, with a sharply arched head. The arch has mouldings decorated with beakheads and a zigzag pattern. The lintel has palmette decoration and the tympanum is filled with beaded interlace in a figure of eight. The door has mid-12th century ironwork.

The south doorway of the same date, seen here within the porch, is less spectacular, with one order of zigzag and a plain tympanum.
