Building
Ground Plan Description and Dimensions
Ground plan:
Nave and chancel under one roof, with a passage-aisle on the south side and a wider aisle to the north which has been partitioned off for use as a parish room.
Exterior Description
The church is built of brick and roofed with slates. The external appearance of the building consists of two parallel sheds with steep pitched roofs, and a bellcote topped by a fleche at the western end of the principal roof valley. The nave and the north aisle are of almost the same height, and their western elevations are similar. The main architectural element being a triplet of unequal trefoil headed lancets under a ilkrelieving arch of brick, flanked by vertical strips of raised brickwork. The nave wall is slightly emphasised by the addition of a further lancet on either side of this strip. The other elevation which fronts a street is that of the north aisle, which is divided into five bays by plain pilaster strips with a further gabled quasi-transeptal projection at the eastern end.

Interior
Interior Description
Several features of the interior suggest a later date than that given for the building of the church. While the north arcade rides on cylindrical columns with fairly conventional capitals (though the stone remains uncut) the south arcade rests on massive square piers with a slight chamfer and capitals of the Arts and Crafts type associated with Leonard Stokes. The roof of the nave has collars and substantial arch-braces but the rafters have been boarded over. The east window is of five lights with very simple plate tracery in the head.

Organ (object)
The front of the organ case is of late 18th century date, and it seems that it may have come from Sacred Trinity church, Salford, which still exists.
