This parish church, Grade I listed, is medieval and later, built in flint with ashlar and some brick dressings it has slate coverings on the roofs. It is on the same site as a Saxon church and some of the building material is reused. Consisting of a south-west tower porch, an aisled nave, and a chancel. The C14th tower porch has diagonal buttresses and a rectangular stair turret to the north-west. The porch entrance is a massive plain chamfered, two-centred arch on polygonal responds, the church doorway arch being of filletted rolls on two pairs of nook shafts with an elaborately cusped niche above it. On the south face is a rectangular loop to the upper floor, and on all sides above the upper string course are plain two-light Y-traceried bell-openings with a corbel table and crenellated parapet above.
The scratch dial is on the right-hand quoins of the porch about 1.5m above ground. There are only four diagonal marks, all to the lower-left of the gnomon hole, all indicating that services were to be held in the morning, the last one about mid-day.
