The medieval building, cruciform in shape with a square tower over the crossing, was built of assorted stone including Caen and Binstead.

It was consecrated in two stages: chancel and nave by Bishop Toclyve of Winchester in 1188, and the two transept altars and churchyard on the 12th March 1196 by Godfrey de Lucy, Toclyve's successor.

The style of the architecture is known as "transitional", between Norman and Early English. LinkExternal link
