A small T-plan church which may have taken its present form in 1790 or (more likely) in 1809 when John Mason was in charge of repairs. Bellcote at the SW end; 17th-century burial aisle left over from an earlier church. The porch was added in 1848, and the old jougs hung up outside the door.

Field Visit (29 August 1913)
Within the modem parish church is a good pulpit of apparently early 18th century workmanship. It is hexagonal on plan and measures internally 3 feet 10 inches by 3 feet by 3 feet high. On each side is a panel, stuck moulded and fielded; the back board, 3feet 4 ½ inches high, has a panel with an ogival head and is flanked by Corinthian pillars with fluted shafts, that support the sounding board, which is very daintily moulded and gracefully enriched in accord with the pillars.
RCAHMS 1924, visited 29 August 1913.
