The church was built between 1862 and 1863 to designs by the architect George Frederick Bodley. It comprises a north tower, saddleback roof, nave with clerestory, aisle and chancel. The west end contains a rose window.
The memorial is in the form of a stone cross surmounting a square-set stone plinth. The plinth stands on three-stepped stone base and bears names and inscription in carved lettering.
The lettering badly weathered and hard to read. The details have been extracted from the Imperial War Museums website.
