The most striking EXTERNAL feature is the contrast between the dark tower and the creamy yellow of the rest of the church. The TOWER was renovated in 1883/84 the belfry stage being re-built and the tower re-faced with ashlar stone from Harehills. As time has gone by the newer stonework has darkened while the rest of the church, built with local yellow limestone, has retained its original lightness   

East of the porch, on the south wall. A SCRATCH DIAL or MASS CLOCK can be seen. Lines radiate from a central hole which would formerly have contained a gnomon, the shadow of which would have shown the times of morning and evening services, including 9. a.m. which during the middle ages was the time of the Parish Mass.
