Description

Thinly coursed red/grey sandstone rubble with Welsh slate roofs. Nave, separate chancel, south porch and west bellcote. The masonry is much obscured by plant growth. 3-light window in south wall of nave, 2-light with roundel over in west gable, single light Norman type arched window in north wall of nave, and another in the chancel. 2-light windows in east and south walls of chancel. All windows are externally Victorian and have plate tracery except for the single light ones. The gabled porch has quatrefoils in the flanking walls and a pointed entrance arch. Bellcote on west gable with two bells and quatrefoil in gable above.

Access to the interior was not possible at resurvey (April 1997). The rere-arches of the nave windows appear to be of Norman type. Victorian arch braced collar beam roof with diagonal sarking and quatrefoiled wallplate to the nave, Victorian waggon roof to the chancel. Victorian pews. The font is said to be Norman (not seen at resurvey).
