The church is built of stone with slate roofs, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a north porch, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has two stages, a chamfered plinth, a northeast stair turret, and round-headed bell openings, above which is a band and an embattled parapet. The reset north doorway is Norman, and has two orders. The shafts have scalloped capitals, and the arches have beakhead decoration and a single beast at the head of the arch. Inside, there is a mid-17th century pulpit, an organ built in 1836 with a neo-Gothic case, and a font with an early-13th century top, on a newer basin and octagonal pillar. There are various memorial tablets from the 18th century.[1][2][3]
