This small parish church is of an aisleless construction and has a C14th brick west tower, not common even in Norfolk, a Perpendicular nave of carstone and ragstone with ashlar dressings and a much later chancel, 1864, built of carstone, ashlar and brick, now Grade II* listed. The roofs are lead covered.
The octagonal font of 1835 is on an octagonal stem with chamfers top and bottom, the faces incised with quatrefoils with roses at their centres. Based on a Perpendicular style it is at the west end of the nave just to the left of the south porh door. It has a modern timber cover with spherical topped handle.
Words variously from British Listed Buildings, Pevsner's Norfolk Buildings, amended and added to with own on-site observations.
Co-ordinates are for the south porch.
