The west tower has a Victorianised doorway, big circular bell-openings and a pyramid roof with a knob. There are arched windows in the nave and the chancel. The interior is white with a flat ceiling. The communion rail is later 17th century in date. There is a six foot long vamping horn on the west wall.
