From Historic England "The elaborately carved door surround comprises a pointed-arch
terminating in figurative head corbels, and containing two cusped door
openings separated by a Y-tracery trumeau (mirroring the arrangement of
the window tracery above), and two early-C15 doors (restored in 2012)". Now having read that you'll no doubt want to see the window tracery ...
Such a fancy ornamented doorway with heraldic shields and beasts was clearly the main entrance at one time but not now, now you go in via porch way on the southern side... and I suppose you'll want to see the figurative head corbels or at least one of them; t'other is just a mess of eroded stone.
... to round off the day how about a pair of angels?
I can't let you go without posting this handsome chap; Old Nick himself creeping out of the stonework.
