A nave and chancel church, built in three phases, of roughly coursed limestone, measuring 19.1m x 6.5m. The W doorway retains traces of 12thc. mouldings.
The lowermost courses of what could have been a 12thc. chancel arch also survive.
Although quite plain, the moulding used on the arch of the church doorway suggests a 12thc. date.
