Butresses around the building with slate caps and quoins. Entrance porch under pitched roof has arched opening under moulded surround including dog tooth. Timber door has decorative hinges. INTERIOR: Nave and aisles have tall moulded arcade on slender clustered colonettes with moulded capitals. Roof incorporates slender rafters and trusses with cross braces and angled struts that cuved to arcade wall and rest on corbelled blocks. Talle pointed chancel arch to 3-sided chancel. Wooden pews in nave and aisle incorporate fleur de lys finials, and have doors into pew, with an additional open attached seat flanking the aisle in each row. Timber screens in side chapel, and some dado panelling. Wide arch has been infilled with C20 boarding to separate the space. Central aisle has Victorian floor tiles.

A parish church of 1845 with some mid-C19 additions by the notable local architect Thomas Hellyer. It is comprehensively of good quality and in a studied Early English style, and it survives well. Furthermore, the bold tower spire makes it a prominent landmark when approaching Ryde from the Solent.
