St Mary's consists of a nave, aisles, chancels and a square west tower that is open to the nave and supported by pointed arches, similar to the ones, resting on cylindrical pillars that separate the nave and aisles. This graceful arch is repeated in the opening to the chancel and in the three lancet stained glass windows at the east end.
During much need repairs in 1864, a number of pre-Conquest sculptured stones were found and placed under cover. Several fragments of fine Saxon crosses are also preserved, some of which are beautifully carved. Among the collection of ancient stones there is a Roman altar. Various grave covers, and other stones of later date, are built into the walls of the north porch.
The 13th century font has a tall wooden Jacobean style cover, and there are three medieval brasses in the chancel.
