In graveyard (14555). Fragmentary remains of rectangular church, of which only W gable (L 10.2m) with short return of N (L 2.95m) and S (L 1.9m) walls now stand. Built of roughly-coursed sandstone. West wall stands to full height with steeply pitched gable: gentle external batter; single central window with two-centred pointed arch; surrounds for ope are masonry, not cut stone. North wall incorporates re-used block of late-medieval appearance, built into top of wall. Probably private chapel for nearby Castle Cooke country house. Ruin is 18th-19th century in appearance.
