Overview
Historic England records a parish church of 1878 by Austin, Johnson and Hicks, incorporating features from the medieval church, in a free late-thirteenth-century style. Fabric is rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings under a graduated Lakeland slate roof. The plan is nave and chancel, with a south-west porch and north-east vestry. The nave has a trefoil-headed west window and a coped gable carrying a twin-opening bellcote. The porch has a double-chamfered arch; the nineteenth-century boarded door hangs in a reset twelfth-century round arch with chamfered imposts and a hood with head stops.
Windows include two two-light openings east of the porch and, on the north, three two-light windows, the eastern one of about 1260 with two lancets and a vesica over. The chancel has a three-light east window flanked by shallow buttresses. The interior is plastered, without a structural division, under a boarded wagon roof with a carved wall-plate in the chancel. A reset medieval font bowl stands in the porch, with two small medieval stones built into the walls. The west wall holds an incised fourteenth-century slab with a cusped cross, sword, and blacksmith’s tools.
