The building was constructed as a chapel of ease to St Nicholas' Church, Husthwaite,[1] and was probably completed in 1677.
[3] The church is built of sandstone with gritstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof.
The tower has three stages, a single-light west window with a hood mould, clock faces, single-light bell openings with chamfered surrounds and ogee heads, and a pyramidal roof with a weathervane.
The windows on the side of the church have two ogee-headed lights and hood moulds, and the east window has three lights, the middle one taller, in a segmental-arched opening with imposts, a keystone and a hood mould.
There is also a painted coat of arms of William and Mary, and an octagonal font from the early 20th century.
