The plan consists of a naive of 64 feet by 30 wide and a sanctuary divided from it by a bold arch, 11 foot long and the same width as the nave, those two are under the roof. There is it north and south transept, thus making the Church cross form. The trancept's are 20 foot by 10 feet, and are entered from the body of the Church by bold arches.
