It has both a western tower and a central tower with a spire, a rare combination. The church is built in a variety of medieval styles. The niches in the tower are filled with modern statues by Simon Verity. Inside there is a good wall painting of the Death of the Virgin, some medieval glass and a remarkable Flemish painting of the Last Supper.
