Grade II*listed
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.

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom, covered by around 375,000 listings.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites, and in more recent times a road crossing (Abbey Road) and graffiti art (Banksy 'Spy-booth') have been included.

In England and Wales there are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures (at the discretion of local authorities) using A, B and C designations.

In Scotland three classifications are also used but the criteria are different. There are around 47,500 Listed buildings.
Category A (8%)- generally equivalent to Grade I and II* in England and Wales
Category B (51%)- this appears generally to cover the ground of Grade II, recognising national importance.
Category C (41%)- buildings of local importance, probably with some overlap with English Grade II.

In Northern Ireland the criteria are similar to Scotland, but the classifications are:
Grade A (2.3%)
Grade B+ (4.7%)
Grade B (93%)
