This large church has an aisled nave with a slender tower over its central bay, a chancel with north and south chapels, and a South porch. The two west bays of the nave are 12th century, but the East part was rebuilt and extended in the 15th century, presumably after the collapse of a crossing tower; the present 15th century tower is set much further west. An outer aisle was added on the south side of the church in 1883. The church is built of red sandstone ashlar, except for the top of the tower and the spire, which are of grey-green sandstone
