Weald sandstone rubble with some tile pieces, dressed sandstone blocks on buttresses and rough dressed, galleted blocks on transepts and chancel. Horsham slab roofs with short, wood-shingled broach spire to tower. Cruciform plan about a-central tower. Corbel table to tower eaves over arcading with multiple, clasping, offset buttresses to angles over diagonal buttresses on the lower stage in the re-entrant angle between nave and transepts. Simple two-light, round- headed openings in upper stage to each face under single round-headed relieving arches and with central columned, cushion-capital mullions. Trefoil windows over three widely spaced lancets in transept ends with deep reveals and offset butt- resses to angles. Lancet windows in east and west sides of north transepts.

Gabled porch to west with ogee and scalloped bargeboards. South door, early C12 with large jamb shafts, big scalloped capitals and thick order to arch with double roll moulding under the hood running into the imposts.

Tiled floor. Three bay crown post roof to nave. Three bay chancel roof with moulded wall plate. Hexagonal tiles to chancel floor. Rubble- stone crossing arches with continuous double chamfers.
