The tower itself rises to an octagonal belfry with a slender spire, and its entrance is framed by a pointed arch with a traceried fanlight, a Gothic Revival gesture that sits alongside the more plainly functional elements of the building.

The church was built in 1784, on a site privately donated for the purpose, according to Samuel Lewis writing in 1837. When the Ordnance Survey mapped the area in 1842, the building appeared as a simple rectangle with a modest projection to the west. What stands today is more complex than that early outline suggests. The nave retains pointed windows of one and two lights set into a rendered north wall, while a southern aisle, built of uncoursed limestone blocks, was added at some point, bringing two- and three-light pointed windows with it. The short chancel, also in limestone, has single pointed windows to north and south, with the east end given over to a five-light window, its pointed lights divided by mullions, the kind of arrangement that draws the eye and concentrates the light at the liturgical focal point of the building. A vestry sits on the south side of the chancel, completing a plan that has evidently grown in stages from that original plain rectangle.
