The church is thirteenth century in origin but with much fifteenth century work.[3] The double bell gable, and more, was restored in 1853–4 by John Pollard Seddon.[4] It is of Old Red Sandstone.[4]
The interior contains a late medieval screen, "of particular interest."[3] The church register of baptisms and burials dates from the year 1758 and that of marriages from 1757.[5]
