Description of Archaeology and History
Built in 1887 as a daughter church to St Cuthert's at Kirkby Ireleth. The architect was William Newby from nearby Kirkby.
Exterior Description
The nave has a pitched roof with a plain cross at the east end. The apsidal chancel roof is conical and sits below the apex of the east gable. The fenestration of the building is consistent throughout with round headed lancets and no tracery work. There are two well spaced lights to the north and south curves of the apse and two to the western elevation. There are four lights to the north and south elevations. Those on the north are equally spaced with one per bay whereas those on the south have two paired closely together in the third bay from the west; the westernmost bay being occupied by the only entrance.
The south porch has east and west doors although the latter now leads to a tiny strip of wasteland behind the church. The west elevation is rendered with cement and has a small bellcote overhead. Steps lead down to a chamber below the vestry.

Interior
Interior Description
Internally the church is effectively single cell. A wooden timber screen has been erected in the north west corner to create a vestry. The chancel arch is a plain semicircle with no decoration other than a bold hoodmould which continues across the east wall of the nave creating a stringcourse. There are 18 pews with iron uptight supports to the end and centre of each. The west wall has a blind recess positioned centrally at a low level.
The glazing to the windows is textured glass more commonly found in domestic bathrooms and restricts the natural light to the building.
