Plain Early English' style; small aisleless church with apsidal E end. Random dolerite rubble construction with buttresses and Cefn freestone dressings; slate roof with cresting and cross finials. Gabled bellcote to W end and gabled S porch with ramped sides pierced by circular windows; chamfered entrance arch with corbelled and roll moulded inner order; Maw & Co. tiled pavement and boarded door. Windows are twinned lancets with chamfered surrounds, the chancel windows distinguished by octagonal central shafts with nailhead capitals. Five lancets to apse; 3 separate lancets to W end linked by string course at sill level; rose windows above. Gable ended vestry to NW appears to be a later addition (brick walled internally); similar, but original, chamber to NE with 2-light window.
