This Grade I listed parish church is almost pure C12th. There have been restorations and changes made in the C15th, as a result of flooding, c.1450, the tower collapsed but was restored later on, the tower was strengthened in the C18th, and the south porch was added in the C19th with further restoration.
The church is built of rubble flint and septaria with some pudding stone in the tower. There are limestone ashlar dressings, a timber porch and plain tile roofs. The tower is slightly wider than the unaisled two-bay nave and is unbuttressed except for a large C18th red brick diagonal buttress to the south-west.
In good condition the cut-mark is in one of the decorative limestone inserts in this buttress, it was last verified in 1962 as being 5.038m above Newlyn Datum and is 1.2m above ground level.
