"The church is built of Charnwood Forest stone in the Early English style. The construction is of random walling, which is pointed on the outside and plastered internally. The walls and corner angles are enforced with buttresses with set-offs. The dressings are of sandstone from Hollington.
The foundation stone was laid on Tuesday, April 22 1862 by the Revd Francis Merewether, MA and can be found set in the easternmost corner buttress of the south transept, though this is badly weathered and now largely illegible."
