The church was originally built in the 12th century, from which period much of the chancel survives.
In 1854, the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott, whose work included a porch and new nave windows.
[citation needed] The church is built of limestone and gritstone and has a stone slate roof.
The tower has two-light bell openings, a clock face on the south side, and a plain parapet with stone spouts and corner pinnacles.
Inside the church, there are memorials to the Slingsby family of Scriven Park.
