The mediaeval chapel with its saddle back tower was demolished in 1827, and
the present building designed by the Fosters of Bristol. Built 1829-30 of
pennant stone rubble with ashlar plinth, quoins, square-corner piers with off-sets
at top, coped verges with saddlestones, block stones to eaves. Slate roof.
Gargoyle in north-west corner of transept might be reused mediaeval. Three
bay nave, one bay transepts with pointed arch doors, one bay chancel with angled
sanctuary. Windows include original church-warden "Y" tracery types and later
(probably mid C19) decorated style tracery-types. Rose windows to north, south
and west. Projection to south-east might represent retention of mediaeval fabric
(possibly in this case, roof-stair projection). Later Western porch. Corbelled
belfry to west gable. Vestry to north-east. Interior: Tudor arch plaster
vault with thin reeded ribs. Fittings, later Victorian and Modern.
