All windows are diamond-leaded with continuous roll moulding and hoodmoulds with carved terminals. Roof has coped verges with cross finial to east end. Interior: Vestibule at west end with stairs to west gallery. Five-bay nave and chancel with 1-bay gallery; pine collar and tie- beam trusses with queen struts and curved bracing, tie-beam with painted biblical inscriptions.

The building remains of special architectural interest despite the change of use. Original paid for by the Marchioness of Bath. (N. Pevsner, The Buildings of England, Wiltshire, 1975.)
