The main body of the original church was rebuilt in 1796 however the tower, which was built around 1437, survives.[2]
The church consists of a nave, chancel and north and south aisles along with the four-stage west tower which is supported by set back buttresses and has a small polygonal stair turret from the roof.[3] Around the tower is a trefoil-headed parapet with corner crocketted pinnacles and gargoyles on the corners.[1] The tower has six bells. These were re-tuned in 2006.[4]
The interior holds a font and wooden pulpit. There is some stained glass which is decorated with heraldic shields and a canvas coat of arms beneath the tower.[3] An unidentified monument and a Shire Monument dating from around 1764 in the churchyard are also listed.[5]
The parish is part of the benefice of Winford with Felton Common within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]
