The church comprises chancel, nave with S porch and S aisle, and W tower. The tower is the earliest feature, with its plain, slightly pointed arch, and the chancel may have Early English origins (Historic England listing: 1105096). All other features of the church are Perpendicular. The church was restored in 1887 by Samuel Hooper of Hatherleigh. The only 12thc. feature is the font.
