The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KE094-07001-). Built of random limestone ashlar. Rectangular nave (long axis E-W) lit by pairs of narrow pointed lights with cut-stone surrounds; chancel at E end lit by large pointed window consisting of five tall pointed lights separated by slender mullions. Lean-to vestry adjoins the N walls of the chancel and the nave. Three-storey tower at the W end with corner buttresses; crenellated parapet surmounted by corner pinnacles. Gabled entrance porch adjoins the S wall of nave towards its W end. The walls of the church display a slight basal batter. Part of cruciform church indicated on 1846 OS 6-inch map may be incorporated into the present structure which has a mid-19th-century appearance.
