This grade I listed church became redundant in November 1982 and is in the care of The churches Conservation Trust.
The church is constructed in carstone and brick. The aisles have lead roofs, and the nave and chancel are slated. Its plan consists of a nave with a clerestory and North and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower
Its architectural style is Perpendicular, and it is said to be a "fine example" of this style. The tower is in three stages, and has angle buttresses and stair turrets. In the lowest stage is a west window in Perpendicular style. The middle stage contains lancet windows. In the top stage are two-light Perpendicular bell openings. The parapet is battlemented.
The east and west windows of the aisles contain three-light Perpendicular windows, and in their side walls are two-light windows. The south porch is in brick and it has a tunnel vault. Above the exterior doorway is a sundial dated 1742.
On both sides of the porch are two-light Perpendicular windows. The south door dates from the 13th century, and has two orders of columns. The clerestory has five windows on each side. On the north side is another 13th-century door with two orders of columns.
The chancel contains two two-light windows on the south side, and one similar window and a priest's door on the north side. The Perpendicular east window has four lights.
