Note 2: The church stands near the sea, above a little rocky cove. An ancient fishermen's chapel once stood at the cliff edge and is said to have been swept away by the sea. St Bridget's has a long nave, chancel, north transept, tiny aisle north of the chancel, and south porch. The nave has a bellcote at each end, each with paired openings, lintels to the west and arched to the east. Traces of a lost south transept. Well-preserved rood stair, the east door with slightly ogee moulded head.

Note 3: The nave, chancel north transept and south porch are all 13th century. Only two of the lancets are unrestored. The porch outer entrance has just one long stone on each side. There are three grave-slabs, one showing a priest and another a floriated cross.
