The church is simple in plan: it has a continuous nave and chancel, with bellcote. There is no vestry or porch, and a N aisle and N chapel which once existed are gone. The guide (Shorer, after 1994, 1) suggests the N aisle had been taken down in the sixteenth century. In the early 1840s, the Rev Charles Carr rebuilt the W wall, providing the present W doorway and bellcote. The N arcade was exposed when the plaster was removed during a restoration under G. G. Scott in 1908.

Inside the church there is a cylindrical font and the remains of a late-twelfth century arcade, while outside are various reset stones probably from the original doorway; the bellcote does not include twelfth-century corbels as sometimes said.

The archbishop was the largest landholder in DB, having 4 carucates. The king had 1½, William Percy 2½ and Robert Malet 2 carucates. The holding of William Percy is said to be waste; the land of Robert Malet was soc to Pocklington (VCH II, 210, 256, 256, 321). The land of the archbishop sounds quite profitable, having a total of 8 ploughs, 18 villeins and bordars, and a mill of 6s. No church is mentioned.

Reset voussoirs: the pattern would make a series of arches round the order, compare first order of the Bishop Wilton S doorway where this pattern is very beautifully cut, also used at Kilnwick Percy and St Margaret, Walmgate, York (resited from lost St Nicholas', Hull Road); also used in similar workmanship on the upright of the impost of the tower arch at Nunburnholme.

Reset beakheads are similar to those over the doorway at Kilnwick Percy.
