Rectangular-plan rubble-built church with clash harling. The south elevation features 4 softwood windows, whilst a single storey vestry with gablehead stack projects from the west gable. The east gable features an off-centre square crenellated belltower in 3 stages, probably 1906 by T. S. Pearce. Each stage features a single rectangular window, with a louvred opening to the bell. The steeply pitched roof is in local slate pegged to battens. The interior features a massive and heavily decorated wooden pulpit in the south wall, and a panelled redwood lined ceiling.
