Ian Nairn, in the Sussex volume of The Buildings of England, approves of the simplicity of this "flint village church" and comments that most "other counties would have had it much fussier".

[2] Houses were built in the village in the eighteenth century, and expansion increased after the Partridge Green railway station was opened in 1861.

[3] The settlement was served from 1884 by an iron mission room in nearby Jolesfield.

The church was designed in thirteenth century style by the architectural firm of W.G.

The rere-arches of the lancet windows and the tower and chancel arches are of stone.
