The west front, which is Perpendicular, is of brick and stone. embattled, with four turrets, having ogee cupolas; it is made symmetrical by the projection of the right-hand porch beyond the narrow aisle. The other walls are of the plainest brickwork, with horizontal banding. The east elevation is dominated entirely by the large window with its curvilinear tracery. Immediately underneath this window is a lean-to vestry extending across the full width of the wall, in an austere and functional style which owes something to the example of Butterfield.

Interior
Interior Description
The internal detail, with the huge east and west windows with their flowing tracery, the arches of the arcade sprouting out of the main piers without any interposed capitals, the abundance of colourful Italian marbles (Ruskin's influence) and the plentiful sculptural decoration is all typical of Sedding's personal style, which has been described as late gothic freely treated, in this case with an admixture of Italian Renaissance elements. The nave is of four bays with two - light Perpendicular windows in the clerestory above. Above the arches of the nave arcade are panels of blind Perpendicular tracery, which Sedding adapted from the decoration of the east interior wall of King's College Chapel at Cambridge. In the spandrels of the arches are the medallions which were to have been carved by Armstead. The high roof vault was destroyed in the Second World War, and replaced by a new one of similar,pattern in 1959. The north aisle is more than double the width of the south. It is roofed with a series of timber vaults running at right angles to the nave and supported on pairs of arches, one pointed, one four-centred, on a central column. The small south chapel was formed and furnished by Sir Charles Nicholson as a First World War memorial Chapel.
