A very small, rendered parish church composed of an unaisled nave with a timber bell-cote over the W end and a small square-ended chancel. There are traces of opposing N and S doorways in the nave walls although the church is now entered through a W doorway.
The Domesday Book mentions 'a small church'. Restored 1710 and 1885 (Pevsner).
The two carved heads differ in style and may come from separate ensembles.
