Exterior Description
Built of local stone, quarried a short distance away. Faced with ashlar. Aisle less nave of two bays. The window are all of the same design with flowing tracery in the head - a star shape in the centre, and three curved lobes over either side light. There are gable crosses of attractive design at east end west ends of the nave and at the east end of the chancel. The windows have hood-moulds.
Interior
Interior Description
The interior features white plastered walls, and barrel roofs to both nave and chancel. The important architectural features of the church are the chancel arch from Pyt House chapel, and the arch with carved leafy spandrels between the chancel and the vestry. Both arches have two orders, and are Perpendicular. The design of the tracery, and the condition of the masonry, suggest that they originated in 1911 - though possibly based on a window from the Pyt House chapel.
