    Five or six stones with checkerboard (2) or checkerboard-like patterns (3) have been used from the medieval church.

    Checkerboard 1 on the west wall of the tower is a very indistinct checkerboard stone with a cross on its upper right half. To the left of the cross is a bowl-shaped semicircle with a vertical line at the top and below it a circle with a cross (or crosses). The latter is thought to be a consecration sign for the consecration of the church;

    Checkerboard 2 also on the white wall of the tower is a perfectly regular checkerboard with alternating high and low squares. Parts of the stone are badly worn;

    Checkerboard 3 is a very long and distinctive stone but not a "true" checkerboard stone, it is diamond-shaped;

    Portal ornaments can be seen on the south portal
