[2] The church stands in open fields to the south of the village and to the east of the A146 road.

[1] With its round tower, semicircular apse, and thatched roof, it is described as "an almost perfect Norman church".

[2] The church was controlled by St Olaves Priory, Herringfleet until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.

Around the apsidal chancel are round-headed blind arcades in pairs, in some places pierced by lancets.

In the chancel there are niches on each side of the east window, and a recess for an aumbry in the north wall.

Around the stem are carvings of four lions, the bowl is supported by corbels carved with angels, and the faces of the bowl are decorated alternatively with Tudor roses and with angels holding shields.
