Comprises a nave, round west tower in C20 brick replacing earlier taller structure, and C20 brick chancel replacing chancel of 1874 - 6. North and south sides each have five-bay arcades of round arches springing from moulded imposts. Set within each is a round-headed window with rusticated surround. At the west end there is a doorway to each side of the tower, restored in artificial stone, with architrave and pediment. Interior: flat ceiling.
