Detached cruciform-plan gable-fronted church, built c.1830, flanked by projecting towers. Two-bay side elevations to nave, with single-bay transepts and single-bay chancel to the north-east. Castellations to entrance gable, castellations and pinnacles to towers. Pitched slate roofs. Roughcast rendered walls with limestone quoins. Pointed arch windows, with limestone dressings to entrance elevation. Porch additions to gabled entrance and transepts, sacristy addition to north-east. Graveyard to site.
This church is of apparent architectural form and design. The cruciform-plan of the church is enlivened by the pair of pinnacled towers which flank the castellated entrance gable. The entrance façade of the church is articulated and enhanced by the ashlar limestone dressings. The graveyard to the north-east makes a positive contribution to the setting of the church.
