The church lies in a grassy churchyard, south of the village's Main Street.[1] It was originally constructed around 1240, with a four-bay nave, south aisle and chancel.[2] Since at least 1404, the church has been a chapel of ease to St Botolph's Church, Bossall.[3] In the 15th century, the nave was shortened, the aisle removed, and the chancel rebuilt. The church was altered in 1803, and then heavily restored between 1878 and 1881.[4] The architect is unclear, but may have been C. Hodgson Fowler or Temple Moore.[2] The building was Grade II* listed in 1953.[4]

The church is built in limestone and sandstone and has a Westmorland slate roof. It consists of a nave measuring 40 feet by 16 feet, and a chancel at a slight angle. The chancel has a 13th-century door in its north wall. On the junction of the nave and the chancel is a bell turret with a spire. Most of the windows are in Perpendicular style, almost all dating from the Victorian restoration. Inside, there are several wall monuments, the earliest dating from 1674.[4][5][6]
