This small church, built from local sandstone, has a W tower, a single nave with a couple of Norman windows surviving in its N wall, and an Early English chancel. It also has a modern vestry (N of chancel), and a S porch (14thc.).
Mountfield is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but no church.
As Walker and Pevsner have suggested, this was probably a large 12thc. tub font, recarved in the 15thc. or early 16thc.
