The church is often described as a Norman to 13th century building, although when entering the churchyard from the west the view is that of a Victorian church. The tower is the work of diocesan architect Joseph Clarke, an example of the sympathetic restoration of which not all Victorians were capable. The west elevation, with its louvred bell tower and cedar-shingled spirelet, is particularly picturesque.
