The building was constructed in 1833 to a design by Edmund Pearce on a new site replacing an earlier church to the north of the village. The building is simple comprising a nave and a small chancel, a tower at the west end of the nave and a north porch. There is a gallery at the west end of the nave with a vestry constructed beneath it at it's southern end. The tower houses a single bell rung from ground level. The roof is formed by cemented sheets on a steel frame with a suspended ceiling beneath. The church building itself is grade II listed and the gate piers to the churchyard entrance are also separately grade II listed. The collapsed wall was not contemporary to the church building and consequently is not listed.
