Rock-faced limestone walls with yellow brick quoins, and with a buttress to the centre of the west elevation. Single and paired pointed-arched window openings with brick surrounds, limestone sills and stained glass windows. Pointed arch door opening with brick surround and carved limestone hood moulding. Set within graveyard with remains of medieval church tower. Bounded by rendered rubble limestone walls and gate piers with spear-headed cast-iron railings.
Architectural design is apparent in the form and detailing of this church. The rock-faced façade of the building is enlivened by the yellow brick dressings, while the apse and entrance porch are interesting features. The remains of the earlier church and grave markers add archaeological interest to the site.
