There is a western tower, nave, south porch, north vestry, and chancel. There are no aisles, therefore the nave is quite lofty. The tower is of two stages with embattled parapet. In the south chancel there is a low sedilia and fourteenth century piscina and aumbry with human head label stops. There are several fourteenth century windows throughout the church.
