Stained glass windows set in pointed-arched opening with stone sills and hood mouldings. Graveyard to site.

Set back from the street line, this church is not a dominant feature in the landscape, though the fine cast-iron railings, gates and gate piers make a positive contribution to the streetscape. The ashlar limestone detailing of the building articulates the architectural form of the building and adds texture variation to the rendered facades. The church, graveyard and railings form an interesting group of religious structures in the village.
