The mark, that is partially obscured by the leg of a street sign, is in good condition. The mark was easy to locate once weeds, that were hiding it, were trod down!
The tower and spire are Grade II listed with the entry at the Historic England website advising:
Five-stage tower with spire, the angle turrets having spirelets. Snecked rubble of Kentish rag with Portland stone dressings. Top stage of ashlar has bell-openings. Early English style with tall lancets and angle buttresses. Spire is banded with red sandstone and has lucarnes.
