The church consists of an aisled nave of the 14thc. and 15thc., a Perpendicular W tower and 12thc. chancel, although this has been altered and extended. The N wall of the chancel has a deeply-splayed, round-headed window, chamfered with arcuated lintel. There is a corresponding window on the S, now blocked, of which traces remain on the interior of the chancel. Other 12thc. remains are found in the exterior N wall of the chancel, and in the interior S wall of chancel and nave. All in local pale red sandstone.
