[2] The church stands on a lane leading directly towards the sea, in an area of coast which has suffered significant ongoing erosion.

During the Civil War much of the stained glass was destroyed by the local iconoclast William Dowsing.

[7] As the church rejects the ordination of women, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough (currently Norman Banks).

The tower is still intact and is in three principal stages, with buttresses and a battlemented parapet.

The buttresses at the east end are decorated with chequered flushwork, and contain canopied niches for statues.

[5] Its fabric includes much material re-used from the older church, and some brick.
