The main body of the church is the result of restoration work by Sir George Gilbert Scott and Arthur Baker on behalf of J.Y.C. Lloyd of Clochfaen Hall in Early English Style in 1877-78.
Allot of the 15C nave wall survives internally and the south-east corner of the church may also be original medieval masonry.
Medieval window tracery is retained in the north and south walls. The tower has been attributed to the middle of the 14C, though it has been suggested by Haslam that its core might be as early as the 12C on the basis of the slight misalignment with the nave. The spire and castellation are 19thC additions.
