Comprises a west tower, nave and chancel under a continuous roof, with clearstorey, north and south aisles and north porch. The 5-stage tower has angle buttresses and a solid parapet. The west door has apointed head and jambs of 2 hollow-chamfered orders. The west window is of 3 cusped lights with panel tracery. Above, one over the other, are 2 niches, now without statues, having projecting decorated heads. Between them is a one-light chamfered window. The bell openings, probably early C15th, have pointed heads and hoods, each having 2 cusped lights. The nave and clearstorey windows, probably late C15th, have flat heads, mullions, and cusped lights. The only exception is the 2nd window from the east in the south wall which is similar to the bell openings of the tower and has a hood with head stops. To its left is a blocked priest's door with a hollow-chamfered segmental head. The east wall was rebuilt in 1866 and has a window of 5 cusped lights with tracery. The south porch has a chamfered doorway with 2-centred head and an inner hollow-chamfered doorway. The north doorway is hollow-chamfered with a segmental head and a false keystone with a carved head. The north aisle has buttresses with moulded offsets. Interior: The arcades are of 5 bays to the south and 6 to the north and have octagonal piers with moulded capitals, and pointed arches of 2 chamfered orders. Towards the east end of the south aisle wall is a piscina with moulded cusped 2-centred head, The open timber roof is probably early C17th. It has short king posts, braced to the ridge and rising from arch-braced collars. Both nave and aisles have cusped windbraces, the aisle principals having ovolo mouldings and some carved decoration near the aisle walls, including heads. The church is unusual for its quantity of good early woodwork. It has C17th and C18th pews, including box pews. A C18th 5-decker pulpit has raised and fielded panels, a stair of slim turned balusters, and sounding board with carved entablature. The rood screen, probably of the 1630s but possibly later, has tapering square uprights with capitals, decorated arched openwork heads, openwork frieze and dentilled cornice. To the east of the rood the east aisle bay on each side is divided from the chancel by a screen with narrow mullions and thin heads of panel tracery. The south aisle is divided towards the east by a wooden screen with cyma-moulded mullions.
