Parish church in Decorated style, with steep roofs on corbel tables, and with coped gables. The nave and buttressed aisles are 5 bays long, with a clerestorey and aisle windows which have alternate Y-tracery and geometrical tracery. On the wall of the south aisle is a sundial with gnomon, brought from another site and made by Joseph Miller (1749), but restored in 1829, 1921 and 1993.

Built between 1877 and 1882 by the firm of J.W. Cocking & Sons, architects of Huddersfield, at a cost of over £4280. A drawing of a tower by J.W. Cocking and Frank Abbey is dated 1913, but the tower as built is of a different design, possibly by the same architects. The Hirst family, owners of a local textile mill, funded some of the early C20 fittings.
