Surrounded by graveyard. Stone gate piers with wrought-iron gates. Detached two-bay single-storey stone former parochial hall, built in 1839, now partially demolished and being rebuilt.

The stone facades of this church are enhanced by the traceried windows set in limestone dressings. The site of this church has been a focus for religious activity for many centuries and contains archaeological features such as the medieval tower. An interesting group of religious structures is formed with the surrounding graveyard, gates and former sexton's lodge.
