Early C19 brick transept with coped gables with stone kneelers, the south was reconstructed in 1860 and has intersecting traceried window. Victorian Decorated 2-light window to north transept. Buttressed chancel with Perpendicular south window and Decorated east window of 3-lights, the tracery is Victorian but the hood mould and corbel heads may be C14. Sill band below and tomb stones built into the wall, two of which are fine slate memorials of 1765 and 1760. Single wide lancet with hood mould in north wall of nave. Interior of Church is very open, with no division between nave and chancel. Lancet windows are all in deep splays. Plain boarded roof. Although the transepts are C19, the arches leading to them seem mediaeval, a roll moulded arch springing from flat abaci. Scissor braced roofs in transepts. South transept contains a plain octagonal font. Simply shaped piscina in chancel.
