The church dates from the 12th century onwards.
There is a western tower with spire, nave with aisles and clerestory, chancel, vestry, and south porch.
The tower dates from the late 13th century and is topped with a broach spire with lucarnes. The broaches rise particularly high up the spire, and the lucarnes are arranged in the same faces, rather than alternating. It is 99 feet tall.
A ring of six bells dates from 1598.
The nave has three bays to the north and four to the south, and dates from the 14th century.
Some masonry in the north aisle arcade follows the line of the original north wall of the nave.
The clerestory was added later, the line of the old roof being visible inside.
The chancel is probably older but rebuilt in the 15th C. with perpendicular windows, the east window has stained-glass from circa 1890.
The south porch was built in 1851 and originally had a priest's room over.
The south door is Norman with zigzag patterning.
There is a font with a base from circa 1200 and a later octagonal bowl.
The pulpit is 17th century with finely carved strapwork panels. In the south aisle there is a large inscribed slab, dated 1597 which apparently covers a vault.
Originally there was a gallery and organ at the west end of the nave, but these were removed in 1866.
The east part of the north aisle has been sectioned off as an RAF Memorial Chapel. It was dedicated in 1949.

There are plans to create a meeting room in the north-west corner of the church.
