Description

The church was built by John Carr between 1791 and 1793 at his own expense of £8,000. The church has a west tower, nave with octagonal ends and two wings in place of transepts. To the north-east is a vestry and to the south-east is a chapel. The tower has four stages reducing in size. The first stage has round-headed and square windows on all sides, with the south and north windows blocked. The second stage is rusticated and has a clock face.
