The church was built between 1450 and 1470. It has a Perpendicular three-stage tower with an octagonal stair turret on the south wall.[2] The vestry was added in the 19th century.[1]
The interior includes a medieval carved rood-screen, with panels showing paintings of saints and stained glass from the same period.[2] In 2013 thieves removed two panels depicting Saint Victor of Marseilles and Saint Margaret of Antioch and damaged a third. The trust believed that the panels may have been stolen for sale abroad.[4] The panels were later recovered by the Metropolitan Police Art and Antiques Unit and were restored and reinstalled.[5][6]
