Architectural style
The church is built in a Gothic revival style of dressed stone with ashlar dressings. It has a central tower. The church has four five-light windows described by Pevsner as being 'of great merit, in the style of the 13th century and in glowing colour, nothing yet of Victorian insipidity'.
