This parish church is Grade I listed. From the late C13th or early C14th, nave and chancel; c1330 north chapel and south porch; early C15th west tower before the roof was raised for the C15th clerestorey; restored 1889 by John Oldrid Scott. Built of flint rubble with stone dressings. Steep old red tile roof to the porch, chancel and similar roof, hipped at the east to the north chapel. The parapet hides a low pitched nave roof and there is an embattled parapet to the Hertfordshire spike on the tower.

The tall wide aisless nave is lit by windows at two levels, with a rood stair at the NE corner, and covered by a four-bay open timber roof. The late C14th oak south door is in a contemporary pointed arch in a square head. Leading to the south door and forming a weather protection feature the south porch has a gabled parapet, diagonal buttresses, and a tiled roof. There are two-light trefoil-headed Perpendicular windows to the east and west. In a niche in the gable over the entry arch is this rather worn image of St Michael.
