The church is Grade I listed[1] by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest.

The church is medieval and the chancel is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the most exciting pieces of architecture in the country.

Most famous is the Easter Sepulchre, which would have been used to reserve the consecrated bread and wine between Maundy Thursday and Easter Day, during which period there would have been no celebration of Holy Communion, and the consecrated elements would have been reserved in the Sepulchre.

The carvings depict at the base the sleeping Roman soldiers guarding the tomb of Christ, at the top are the apostles gazing heavenward at his ascending feet.

On the south wall of the chancel is the finely carved sedilia, stone seating originally provided for officiating clergy.
