Description
The church consists of west tower, nave with north porch and chancel. It is constructed of fairly random limestone rubble with the Victorian work fairly close in character to the medieval tower, but slightly more mechanical in nature. Four bay nave with three lancets on either wall and a gap filled on the north wall by the porch, which is gabled with a pointed arch doorway with dripmould. Clasping corner buttresses, steeply pitched roof with raised stone verges and gable cross. The chancel has a blind north wall, two lancets and a pointed door in the south wall and a 2-light plate tracery window with quatrefoil head in the east gable. The roof has the same pitch as the nave but with lower ridge line, coped gable with apex cross. The tower is of three stages. The ground stage has a pronounced batter to the base of the walls and has a west lancet. The first stage has a single lancet for the ringing chamber on the north side and the bell chamber has a single light on each face and a paired lancet on the west wall. Steeply pitched saddle roof with coped gables.
The interior was not available for inspection at the time of resurvey but is believed to be plain with Victorian benches and furnishings, Norman bowl font. Principal rafter roof. The porch has a C15 type windbrace roof.
