Parish church Built of grey coursed rubble, the church consists of a 12thc. nave and chancel, both without aisles, and a 19thc. tower inserted into the W end of the nave. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S and N nave doorways, the latter now blocked, in a window and string course on the E chancel wall, and in the chancel arch; there are also some carved fragments inset into the interior chancel wall. A 19thc. sketch records the appearance of the Romanesque W front, which was moved to the vicarage grounds when the W tower was built.

Parish church Built of red sandstone ashlar, the church has a 12thc. aisleless nave and chancel, the latter extended in the 13thc., a 14thc. S chapel, a 15thc. W tower and a modern vestry. There are two plain round-headed windows of 12thc. date on the N side of the nave, and two in the N chancel wall, the latter windows later lengthened. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S and N nave doorways, on the string course on the N wall of the nave and chancel, in the chancel arch and on the font. There are also one window on the S side of the nave, one on the N, and a doorway leading into the vestry, all bearing sculpture related to the Romanesque work but probably of 19thc. date. Restorations were begun by the Ward family in 1859.

Parish church The 12thc. features of the church are the nave, the S nave arcade and the W part of the chancel. In the later 12thc. or the early 13thc. the S aisle was widened and lengthened, and an arched entrance made into the chancel. There is a 14thc. W tower of sandstone ashlar, and a timber porch. The church is otherwise mainly built of red sandstone rubble, but the 12thc. work inside is of a pale grey stone. Romanesque sculpture is found in the niche or blocked window in the exterior N nave wall, which until 1970 contained a carved relief of Christ, now inside the church, in the chancel and S chapel arches and in the S nave arcade. The font is probably 19thc., but shows Romanesque features.
