The aisles are adorned with traceried windows, featuring triple lancets in arched surrounds, with the central lancet being taller and decorated with quatrefoil motifs. The south front is gabled and has a cross-shaped saddlestone. An arched doorcase with engaged columns provides the entrance.

Inside, the church is spacious, with large arches supported by circular columns. It contains an octagonal font decorated with trefoil motifs and an elaborate octagonal stone lectern from 1903, which features a carved figure of a saint and marble columns.
