The building was grade II listed in 1966. The church is built of stone with a tile roof and boarded eaves. It consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, and on the west gable is a bellcote, The west doorway has a rounded head and a keystone, and above it is a dated and initialled plaque. The windows have pointed arches. Inside, there is a triple arcade, which Nikolaus Pevsner suggests must be a much later addition.
