Overview

The church is now a nave with a west bellcote and a rectangular chancel. Construction is coursed ironstone and limestone rubble and ashlar, with some red brick at the eaves and pantile roofs with a stone-coped east gable. The west front has a large round-headed doorway and a shaped gable surmounted by a gabled bell turret. The north wall of the nave shows the outline of a twelfth-century arcade; a single pier of the former two-bay Norman north arcade remains visible inside.

Lincolnshire Heritage Explorer records a pre-Conquest knot-work stone and a tenth- or eleventh-century interlace grave cover that once formed the sill of the west doorway. The east window is a sixteenth-century three-light composition with cusped heads; the south side of the chancel has a late fifteenth-century three-light window. The church is part of the Springline Parish grouping in West Lindsey.
