[1] By 1827 the chancel of this church had been demolished; at that time it consisted of a west tower and a nave in Perpendicular style.

[5] The church is constructed in alternating blocks of limestone and knapped flint fieldstone flushwork, forming a chequerboard pattern, and it has a tiled roof.

[2] The tower is in three stages, with similar buttresses at the angles; it has an embattled parapet with gargoyles at the corners.

[5] During the next few years money was raised for repair and restoration, and the Friends of Papworth St Agnes was founded.

[7] As part of the restoration, modern lighting was installed, and a kitchen and toilets were added.
