Unbuttressed west tower, probably older than Early English, as the masonry changes and the tower recedes below the bell openings. However, there is much 19th century work. Early English tower arch. The bell-openeings are two of one light each, with a continuous roll. Heads left and right; also heads in the spandrels to the north and a little man. Corbel table and gargoyles. All of this seems to be work of the 19th century in the Early Englsih style. The nave and chancel is dated to 1854-5 (by Mr Huddlestone). Early English north door with dogtooth in arch and hoodmould. Insode, the Decprtaed former northern arcade is exposed. The chancel has a busily decorated east wall with blind arches with stencilled inscriptions and a diapered reredos. The font is early 14th century, hexagonal with a square base. The sides of the bowl are decortaed with fleurons. Inside the church is a continental sculpture of a guardian angel and saint, made out of wood and dating to the Baroque period. There is also a late 18th century hatchment for John King, part of a burial monument to Edward King (died 1617) and incised slab to Isabel de la Launde c.1400.{2}{3}{4}
A series of photographs of the church and its interior appear in a recent historical study of the village.{5}
