It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kendal, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle.

This was located in a two-storey building in Kirkgate; the chapel occupied the upper storey, the ground floor was the butter market, and the basement was used as the gaol.

[5][8] Webster's nave and tower bases are constructed in limestone and are in Early English style with thin lancet windows and buttresses.

[5] Inside the church, the wooden pulpit stands on columns of Peterhead granite, and the lectern is in the form of an eagle.
