John Newman in The Buildings of England: North-East and East Kent says of the church: "A startling and unique dedication. The church stands above the village on the hillside, surrounded by great lime trees. Gently restored ... and the absurd little west tower is weatherboarded from almost the bottom and crowned by boarded battlements. A Norman nave and chancel were doubled in size by the addition c.1200 of what amounted to a second nave and chancel."
