This Saxon architecture was all but swept away by the Normans but experts have suggested that two windows visible from the north aisle are part of the original Saxon building. Further traces of the Saxon church were found in 1879 during excavations to install underfloor heating.
Evidence of the changes made by the Normans can still be seen in the character of the church building today, particularly in the church tower with its Norman Arch. Much architectural change has taken place over the centuries but the bulk of the building's architecture is reputedly 'Perpendicular', with the windows, pillars and arches typical of that style.
