Church, now in residential use, built in 1797 and opened on the 12th November 1797 by Rev William Sangster. It was then extended and reconstructed in 1862, leading it to be consecrated on the 20th November 1862 by the Bishop of the Diocese, Right Rev Dr Suthers. It was then renovated and converted to a dwelling in the late 20th century. The church is in an Early English style T-plan building with a four-bay nave and gabled porch. It is harled with ashlar dressings and features cusped heads to lancet windows, chamfered arrises and raked cills. Horizontal multi-pane glazing patterns are used and with diamond-pattern leaded glazing to the porch, all replacement. The roof has graded grey slates, a coped harled stack with a can and ashlar-coped skews with bracketted skewputts. The principal north elevation has a gabled transept projecting to the left of centre with two small windows to the first stage and a single window in the gablehead surmounted by a bellcote (bells missing). Other openings include lancets and a window altered from a door. A slightly lower bay to the left has a small projecting porch with a single light and door on the further-gabled left return. The east chancel elevation is broad and gabled with a large raised centre tripartite window. There is a tall centre bay with four tall lancets to the south elevation and two later pitch-roofed dormer windows. A low bay to the outer right has a single light and narrow door and a lower set-back bay to the outer left has an almost full-width conservatory and a stone-pedimented dormer window. The west elevation has a low projecting gable with a taller gable behind containing a blocked circular window in the gablehead and surmounted by a cast-iron cockerel weathervane finial. The converted interior has some original details restored, including the former nave with a stencilled decoration to the kingpost truss roof and walls. The former chancel has a hammerbeam roof, chancel arch and stencilling signed by 'W Wilson Painter 1870', and there is an arcaded carved timber screen. To the east of the church is a broad and deep gabled timber lychgate with four swept-braced posts, scissor-braced gableheads, plain bargeboards, overhanging eaves and a slated roof.
