The church has a nave and apsidal sanctuary topped by a small bell tower with an octagonal cupola.[1] The pews were brought in from another church in Bath to replace the original box pews in 1903.[2]
Within the church is a plaque giving thanks for the safe return of all 13 men from the village who fought in World War I and 15 in World War II, making it one of the Thankful villages.[3]
From the 1970s to 1990s the church underwent significant restoration funded by local residents and the Friends of Wooley Church.[2]
The parish is part of the benefice of Bath St Saviour with Swainswick and Woolley, within the deanery of Bath.[4]
