The church has a cruciform plan, with an aisled nave and chancel and crossing tower. There is some 12th century stonework, and the interior arcades and tower were added in the 14th century. The three western bays of the nave were added in the 19th century. The bowl of the font has slim recessed panels with relief carvings. In the top panels are carven initials and the date 1669.
