It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kendal, the archdeaconry of Westmoreland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle.

In the Buildings of England series, Hyde and Pevsner state that this was carried out by Joseph Bintley,[3] whereas Price attributes it to the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin.

The lower stage of the tower contains a west doorway dating from the 14th century, above which is a two-light window.

On the south side of the church is a gabled porch, and two- or three-light windows.

[3] The south arcade is in Norman style with cylindrical piers and round arches.

The oldest monument is in the southeast chapel, a tomb with effigies dating from about 1490, which was damaged in 1647.
