[1] The church consists of a west tower of two stages, a four-bay aisled nave (with clerestory) entered through a south porch, and a three-bay chancel.

The building material used throughout (except for the later south porch and aisle parapet, built of brick) is limestone in the form of cobble and ashlar.

The earliest remains of previous churches on the site date to the 13th century, and are incorporated into the present structure.

But the majority of the work is from a rebuilding which occurred during the first half of the 14th century, i.e. entirely during the Decorated period, when aisles and a clerestory were added to the nave and the chancel was extended eastward.

It has a square-headed lower west window of two lights with three-centred heads, and pointed belfry openings with uncusped Y-tracery.

For stained glass, Pevsner mentions only the east window of 1877, attributed to Clayton & Bell, and calls it ‘good’.

Dating to c. 1340-50, it commemorates a priest, thought to be either William de la Mare, Provost of Beverley or his brother Thomas, vicar of Welwick.

It is of the highest quality and enriched with flowing tracery, foliate carving, figures of saints and angels, the symbols of the Evangelists and the Passion, and heraldry.
