Pitched slate roof with limestone pinnacles and crosses to gables. Roughcast rendered walls. Pointed arch windows with hood mouldings. Timber battened double doors with strap hinges, set in pointed arch opening with ashlar limestone dressings. Graveyard to site. Ashlar limestone piers with cast-iron double gates.
The simple form of this church is enhanced by decorative details such as the hood mouldings, stone crosses and stone pinnacles. The stained glass windows and carved timber internal gallery add artistic interest to the building. The graveyard, ashlar piers and cast-iron gates make a positive contribution to the setting of the church.
