It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Derwent, the archdeaconry of West Cumberland, and the diocese of Carlisle.

The plan is simple, consisting of a six-bay nave and chancel in one range, a small west tower, and a north porch.

[2] The altar was designed by George Gilbert Scott, and was moved here from Crosthwaite Parish Church in 1848.

Also in the church are carved Royal arms of George III, and memorial tablets dated 1774 and 1853.

[2] The stained glass in the east window dates from 1895 and was made by Shrigley and Hunt.
