Architecture

The hamstone building has clay tile roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. The two-stage tower is unbuttressed.
Inside the church is a 14th-century piscina and a pulpit from 1619. The cylindrical fluted hamstone font is lead lined and decorated with cable moulding.
