All Saints Church, standing alone in the fields to the north-west of the village, is constructed of rough-faced stone, in quite thin courses (which vary in height), with smooth sandstone ashlar dressings. The roof is of graduated Lakeland slates.
The present building is from 1876, and in a free decorated style.

The church is set a little to the east of the centre of a roughly square churchyard, approached from by a short lane from the road through the village, which enters at its south-east corner. It is bounded by fences; on the south there is a pronounced scarp (with some old trees) 1.5 to 2m in height running the length of the churchyard, and extending eastward along the south side of the approach lane. There seems to have been some clearance of monuments; most are of late 19th or 20th century date, but a scattering of early 19th century headstones survives south of the church, with one or two small and illegible ones that are probably a little earlier.
