It is principally of red brick, with freestone dressings and restrained use of red, yellow and bluish-black brick to provide decoration and variety; there is a wide nave (without aisles), deep transepts, chancel and a south-east tower which formerly had a steeply-pitched spirelet. The tower is balanced on the south side by a pavilion at the west, which retains its steeply-pitched slate covered roof, and is linked to the west facade of the nave by an open porch. The church is in lancet style throughout, with a slightly exaggerated contrast in proportion between the low walls of the nave and the long sweep of the roofs.
