Overview

Historic England lists a west tower of four stages, a four-bay nave with south aisle and porch, and a three-bay chancel. The tower is coursed limestone and ironstone rubble with galleted joints and an ironstone ashlar top stage and parapet; roofs are lead. The north aisle was demolished and the roofs altered in 1780. Mid- to late-fifteenth-century parclose screens to the chancel and chapel survive; Pevsner suggested they may have come from Newstead Priory. Sir Charles Nicholson restored the church in 1912–13, partly rebuilding the south aisle, renewing east and north windows, repairing roofs and reseating. Further work followed around 1960.

The church is on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register after heritage crime in 2022, including lead theft, with temporary sheeting in place. It remains open as a festival church in the parish of Cadney.
