Church, still in ecclesiastical use, built by Archibald Simpson in 1833-4 with 20th century additions. It is a Tudor-Gothic church, with a polished sandstone ashlar entrance gable frontage, and harled rear with ashlar margins and dressings. A hoodmoulded, pointed-arch, recessed doorway below a cusped, traceried and hoodmoulded window. Flanking this are narrow, round, full-height tourelles rising above the gabled wallhead in crocketed pinnacles. The return gables are long four-bay, lit by long margined pointed-arch windows. To the rear is a 1913 extension, with a re-set hoodmoulded, cusped and traceried window, and raised basement accommodated on sloping site. A lean-to entrance porch projects at the south-east, dated 1913. The roofs are slate The front railings were removed during World War II, and replaced in circa 1990 with spearhead cast-iron railings with urn stiffeners, and are continuous with the rectory to the north (NJ66SE0385). The church has a galleried interior, with original pointed-arch panelling to the gallery front. The gallery area has been converted for meeting use, with the seats removed. Original gothic panelled double-leaf doors remain between the lobby and nave. Later 19th century church fittings include Gothic style marble reredos and an altar re-sited in the 1913 chancel, a hexagonal stone font mounted on stumpy cluster columns and poppy-head pews.
