The church is a small to medium size 14th century building of flint and stone dressing. The nave roof is thatched with eyebrows over the clerestory windows and is supported by 28 original 14th century single framed scissor braced collar rafters.

The west end 14th century tower was raised in 1847 with a top stage and corner figures of the Evangelists by Revd TL Fellowes who also added the north aisle and vestry. There is one 6cwt bell dated 1625.

Entrance is by the south porch. There is a 13th century font with later oak cover. A Bishop's Cross is painted on the south wall. The Victorian pews in the nave and aisles have a great variety of poppyhead ends. In the northwest corner are two finely carved pew ends, one depicting a sow feeding 10 piglets and the other a dog.

The screen was much restored in Victorian times and a crucifixion scene added in 1930 with four attendant figures. In the chancel there is much fine Victorian carving with six stained glass windows showing the Apostles and a fine stained glass east window.
