Anglican parish church, rubble stone with slate roofs. Almost detached tower S of chancel, nave and aisles with S porch. Tower is of purple and grey sandstone, and this seems to have been the material of the 1835-7 church, with similar stone surviving in the base of walls elsewhere. The later work is in local brownish sandstone with ashlar dressings, Bath stone to nave, Doulting stone to chancel. S tower is relatively plain, 2-stage with diagonal angle buttresses, stepped 3 timbres, single louvred lancet bell-openings, corbelled parapet with stepped battlements and string course between levels. Tudor-arched S door with hoodmould and moulded spandrels, and double ledged doors. Hoodmoulded lancet above, blank ashlar hoodmoulded clock face on second stage, bell-opening, and clock. The big 3-stage centre buttresses to E and W may be remnants of the transept S wall demolished in 1938, but it is not clear if the diagonal NE and NW buttresses were added then, as this side would presumably have been within the church. Link to main church of 1938 has 2 plain lancets E and connects to chancel S aisle presumably of 1938, with pair of similar lights. Chancel has S and N traceried 2-light windows of 1885, triple layered plinth and big E 5-light window with roundels, of 1885. Gabled buttresses. N chancel aisle on site of former N transept has plain E lancet, plain door and 2 lancets N. 1853-5 nave and aisles and S porch have steep roofs and coped gables. High nave W end with exceptionally large 4-light Decorated Gothic W window with rose over 2 2-lights. Flanking buttresses and lean-to aisles with 2-light W window to N aisle and single light to S aisle. Nave of 5 bays is clerestoried with alternating 2-light and large round traceried windows, N aisle has 5 buttresses and 4 3-light windows, traceried with alternating details. Hoods with carved head stops. S aisle has paired lancets left, porch and 3 similar 3-light windows with buttresses. Porch has double ledged doors in moulded pointed arch with hoodmould and corner buttresses. Traceried paired square side lights. Stone boundary wall.
