The east window and chancel are in the same square as the photographer who is in the churchyard on the other side of the A149. The rest of the church however is in the adjoining square. A very standard type of church with the south porch as an entrance into the nave. An impressively enormous octagonal font has a double battlemented rim. The bowl, which has traceried designs, stands on a central shaft surrounded by eight engaged columns. A rood screen in the south aisle leads into the chapel. The arcade forming the south aisle is 14th c. Both the Blennerhassett and Clowes families had a great local influence and were benefactors to the church and parish. Half hidden behind the organ is a wall plaque to Mrs Eliza Blennerhassett.
