This Grade I listed church is Medieval, probably built in the C14th and C15th then restored in 1857. It is relatively small consisting only of a nave, a chancel, a west tower, and north and south porches. It is built in flint rubble with stone dressings and the chancel has the remains of render, the nave has a slated roof and the chancel is plaintiled. The massive square tower is of late C14th build.

The WWI memorial plaque has been placed on the north wall of the nave towards the western end, between the north porch doorway and the first of the three nave windows. It is made of brass and bears the names of the six men from the parish who died during hostilities between 1914 and 1919.
