Brick, rendered from the outset to look like stone, with Portland dressings, slate roof. Plain rectangular box with pedimented gable ends. 3 main windows, the centre one arched to West end and broad Venetian window to East end. Pedimented windows to North and South sides. Very fine interior with elliptical painted and gilded coffered vault with furnishing principally of Wren's time but retaining Jones's Royal Pew in the West gallery with its large chimneypiece and the communion rail also to his design etc.
