Parish church. C12 and later. Nave, chancel, south porch and round west tower. In rubble flint, with an admixture of carr stone and septaria; the flint is partly coursed in the tower, and the walls of the nave and chancel are partly covered with old render. Slate roofs: the chancel roof is higher than the nave. Freestone dressings, but the angles of the building are formed without stone quoins; brick diagonal buttresses to east end.
Round tower in three stages, with the original Norman slit windows to the middle stage and two-light C14 windows with flowing tracery to the top stage; crenellated parapet; stair turret on the north side. Two two-light windows with flowing tracery to the south side of nave and one on the north; Y-tracery windows to chancel and a three-light east window with intersecting tracery. Blocked north door, with a round C19 window with trefoil cusping above. Priest's door to south of chancel with a cinquefoil-headed ornamental panel above, possible C18 Gothick. Porch with remains of flushwork panels; diagonal buttresses; open timber roof with embattled cornice. C13 south doorway with pointed arch arid continuous moulding.
Simple interior: benches, pulpit and chancel fittings of 1854. C15 octagonal font; four-sided moulded shaft; low octagonal base. The bowl is supported by winged angel heads and has panels with blank shields alternating with flowers and leaves; flat-topped Jacobean cover. Below the south-east window of the nave, a piscina with shelf: the cusped head is similar to that over the priest's door. Arms of George II d.1749 above the tower arch. The nave roof, in three bays, is plastered apart from the arch-braced trusses and moulded cornice. There is no chancel arch. Good late C17 altar rails with turned balusters. Boarded and painted chancel roof.
