[3] The authors of the Buildings of England series comment that the church and parish rooms have "a mishmash of an exterior".

Standing to the southwest of the church are single-storey parish rooms, from which rises a tower with an open bell stage and a saddleback roof.

Inside the church is stained glass installed in 1975 and designed by the artist Brian Clarke.
