Consisting of five-bay rectangular nave, polygonal chancel to east, lower two?bay vestry attached to east end of south elevation, and gable-fronted porch to west. Pitched slate roof, with perforated red clay ridge tiles, stone ball finials on pedestals to all gable and chancel apexes, no verges, moulded cast-iron gutters on moulded brick dentillated eaves course, brick chimneystack to vestry ridge. Painted roughcast walling on chamfered red brick and rock-faced sandstone plinth with vents. Strip rock-faced sandstone pilasters with red brick quoins between bays and clasping corners. West porch similarly detailed, brick gabled. Round?headed multi-light leaded stained-glass casements (to each bay, to each side of gable abutted by porch and diminished each porch cheek), stone sills, torus-moulded brick surrounds. Brick label-ended hood-mouldings to openings. Vestry elevations have square-headed windows (without hoods) and west has vertically sheeted door. Moulded stone rose window over entrance gable of eight pedals with central light, with brick hood. Round-headed entrance painted timber raised-and-fielded six-panelled double-leaf door, stop-end-chamfered stone lintel, brick tympanum, rebated opening spring from moulded pilasters with indented panels and hood over.
