The church consists of a nave, chancel, north porch, tower, vestry and north and south aisles.[3] The tower dates from the 13th century[4] and has an external turret, renewed shafts, arch mouldings, a west window dating from c15th century, west door, Y-tracery bell openings, lancet windows, pinnacles and battlements.[5][3]

The arcades are thought to date from the early 12th century.[2][3] The third bay is thought to have been added c1300, the same time as the south aisle. The chancel, which is thought to date from c1330,[4] has large windows at the side and the east window is reticulated.[5]

The clerestory was built in the 15th century. The south aisle wall was rebuilt during the 1866–67 restoration by Millican and Smith as were other parts of the church.[5][4]
