"Of a simple design, the building has a three-stage tower (Early English with Perpendicular top) with a chancel and unaisled nave. The latter, main body of the church was rebuilt in the days of the first Elizabeth. On a wall of the north porch are affixed two carved stone coats-of-arms of Elizabeth I, recovered from a house in the village in the late 19th Century and, presumably, originally installed in the church to mark the Tudor restoration."
