What is recorded here

Gable-fronted church, with four-bay side elevation, built c.1820, now in ruins. Three-bays to south elevation of nave with single-bay chancel to east. No openings to north elevation. Entrance porch addition to west gable. Remains of timber windows set in rectangular openings with limestone sills. Limestone ashlar piers with cast-iron gates. Graveyard to site.
Though now a ruin, this church continues to make a positive contribution in the surrounding landscape, set on an elevated site at a crossroads. The site of the church is enhanced by the graveyard, which has many carved stone headstones, which add artistic interest to the site.
