The main building material is Kentish ragstone. The tower remains little more than a stump, though there were plans to raise it higher. 'A steady stream of bequests from 1506 to 1541 failed to raise the tower above the second stage' - according to John Newman, writing in the 'West Kent and the Weald' volume of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England'. The dedication is to St Peter and St Paul.
