Jevington church has an Anglo-Saxon W tower, with details which appear to have been restored in a 13thc. style except for the W doorway, which is in a 12thc. style. It is, nevertheless, undoubtedly Victorian, probably dating from the 1873 restoration. The nave has a 13thc. N aisle. A relief of Christ (Harrowing of Hell) was discovered under the floor of the W tower by Sir William Burrell in 1785 and is now set at the W end of the nave, on the N side. It is often thought to be Anglo-Saxon. There is a vestry (locked) on the N side of the two-bay chancel.

On the relief panel, according to Tweddle (1996), 'there seems little doubt... that this piece belongs to the immediately post-Conquest period. The left-hand animal is plainly in the Urnes style, and the right-hand animal shares elements of this style. The Urnes style developed in Scandinavia c. 1025–50, but probably did not reach England until after the Conquest, according to Wilson and Klindt-Jensen 1966'. The identification of the stone as Caen seems to support this dating.
