Grade I listed.
The church dates from the 13th century onwards and consists of a fine 14th century tower of four stages with a spire, nave with aisles, transepts, chancel, north vestry and south porch.
The nave has a late 13th century four bay north arcade, and an early 13th century four bay south arcade. The clerestory is perpendicular.
The chancel, with fine sedilia and double piscina, dates from the 13th century, contemporary with the south transept. The north transept is slightly later, and contains a 13th century wall tomb.
The south porch is from the 14th century.

The font is in the 14th century style, and dates from 1895. There is also a late 17th-century oak pulpit.

The church was restored in 1895.
