The church dates from the thirteenth century onwards with restorations and partial rebuilding in the nineteenth century. The church is built in ironstone and ashlar,(which is very weathered on the tower), as well as limestone and a slate roof.
There is a western tower, four bay nave with north and south aisles, chancel, and vestry.
The tower is of three stages and dates from the thirteenth century. At the top there are parapet railings and a hexagonal copper-covered spire which was added in 1838.
The north arcade dates from the early fourteenth century, and has quatrefoil piers with carved capitals. The south arcade has octagonal piers with plain capitals and is from the late fourteenth century.
The chancel was partially rebuilt in 1860 by S. S. Teulon.
There is a two manual organ dating from 1889.
The church has several stained glass windows, including a memorial to 166 Squadron of the RAF.
