Overview
Historic England lists a parish church of 1671–82, replacing a church destroyed during the Civil War. The east end is dated 1699; the south aisle was added in 1756 and the north aisle in 1783. The interior was remodelled in 1863; the tower was restored in 1906 and the chancel in 1959. The fabric is red brick with ashlar dressings and copper and slate roofs, with plinths, quoins and parapets. The plan comprises chancel, vestry, organ chamber, nave, aisles and a three-stage unbuttressed west tower. Aisles have round-arched three-light windows with keystones. The nave interior has four-bay arcades of Tuscan columns and a scissor-braced roof.
The chancel has a coffered elliptical arch and an eighteenth-century two-panel ceiling with dentil borders. Fittings include an inlaid octagonal wooden pulpit of 1783 and a reused late seventeenth-century communion rail. Memorials include a tablet of 1717 and obelisk tablets of 1739 and 1749. The church is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with accessible toilets and level access to the main areas.
