There was a church in Hipswell by the late mediaeval period, although only the only remain is a 16th-century window head.
The current church was built in 1811, and in 1893 C. Hodgson Fowler added the chancel, vestry and replaced the windows.
It consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, a south porch and a north vestry.
The porch is gabled, and has a four-centred arch with the date on the apex stone.
Inside, the old window head is in the vestry, while there is a timber screen at the west end of the church.
