The church consists of a north aisle, nave, chancel and tower with spire. The oldest parts of the church date from the 14th century and are in the tower.[2]
The church was restored by Walter F. Lyon in 1881-82[1][3] but several Norman features remain. The vestry has a Norman arch and chevron work. The current spire was added in 1894–95.[2]
The restoration saw the clock chamber being made into the belfry and the chancel, vestry, organ chamber, porch and north aisle being added.[1][4] The font dates from c1857.[2]
