St. Bride is a classic example of a C12th church with simple nave and chancel, walls of massive thickness. The chancel arch believed to be of Saxon origin. The font with trefoil and quatrefoil detailing, rather crudely executed suggestive of early mediaeval origin has clearly been lime washed. The church has been heavily restored in the C19th and the east end was largely taken down and rebuilt in the 1895-8 restoration as a response to severe problems of subsidence. The roof to the nave is of stone flag and the roofs to the chancel and vestry are of slate. A simple single bell-cote surmounts the west end gable wall. The vestry is understood to date from the 1950s and is accessed through a previously existing priest door. There is a fine Arts & Crafts style entrance porch in oak on stone plinth. There are two early round headed windows in the north wall and a blocked doorway referred to as "the devils door". The east window and windows to the south side are C19th with C19th & C20th Stained glass. East Window by Kayll & Co, Leeds. There is a photographic record of the 1895 restoration, framed and hanging in the vestry.
