The tower, with its plain parapet, was built after the church was finished in the 14th c. The church itself dates from the 13th c. as can be noticed from the style of the south doorway and the lancet windows. The octagonal font is 14th c. and has shields in quatrefoils around the bowl and faces round the corbel. The clustered columns of the 13th c. arcade, almost four columns in one, still have the stone seats around the base from the days before pews; they also bear two consecration crosses. Beside the pulpit is a broken corbel piscina. In the chancel is a good example of a 13th c. corner piscina opening into the dropped window sill which creates the sedilia which unusually has an arm rest. The pulpit, benches, stained glass windows and roofs are all Victorian.
