Its layout includes a nave of four bays, a south porch, a two-bay chancel and a vestry on the north side. A bellcote rises above the nave’s eastern end, while buttresses separate the side windows. Among the varied window designs are trefoil and quatrefoil forms, paired lancets in the chancel, and larger east and west windows. Nicholson and Lord made the two-manual organ in 1900.
