Dressed stone and ashlar with slate roof. 3-sided gallery plan with central west tower and comparatively large chancel. 5-bay nave has weathered plinth and castellated parapet.

The tower is flanked by stair bays; it has 3 stages with diagonal buttresses, a door at ground level, moulded bands, arched openings on the second and third stages, a coped parapet incorporating gabled clock faces, corner pinnacles and a steeple with lucarnes. The 3- bay chancel is in an accomplished Perpendicular style having 3-light windows, a priest's door, buttresses with crocketed pinnacles and a 7-light east window. The roof is steeper and has a higher ridge-line than that of the nave. Interior: gallery on cast-iron columns, arch-braced roof trusses and a heavily moulded chancel arch. The chancel is lined with red sandstone and has double-hammer-beam roof trusses with angelic minstrels as well as a piscina and sedilia. Timber fittings and stained glass.
