The church has a central tower, which has a height of 62ft.
Parts of the church building date back to the 13th Century, eg: the north arcade and part of the inside of the tower.

Other sections are from the 'Decorated' and 'Perpendicular' periods, ie: 1290-1350 and 1350-1530.

Parts of the nave and aisle roofs retain their late medieval timbering.
The font is from the late 14th Century, whilst the pulpit is early 18th Century. The brass chandelier in the nave was donated in 1783 by George Rose. There is a stained glass window in the south aisle by Hardman, 1885.

The half-timbered Lychgate was built in 1870.
