The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KE066-123001-). A vacant rectangular church (long axis E-W) built of random rubble sandstone with cut-limestone detail. The nave is lit by four pointed windows and a three-light E window. There is a three-storey bell tower at the W end with corner buttresses and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles; a datestone on the W wall records the building of the church in 1837. The vestry is at the E end of the N wall.
