The church is made up of a nave, tower, chancel, north and south aisles, south transept and south porch.[3] The tower dates from the Perpendicular period (1380-1520), and has a spire, battlements, pinnacles and gargoyles.[3] The clerestory and the roof also date from the Perpendicular period.[4][3]
The south aisle has circular piers, one of the bases has a seat around it. The north aisle has octagonal piers. George Gilbert Scott restored the chancel in 1866-67 and the following two years saw further work on the rest of the church.[5][3] The south aisle has a Saxon sculpture which is thought to have belonged to an old cross.[4]
