The church measures 22.5m from E to W by about 6.7m transversely over walls which have an average thickness of 0.94m at the E gable. The oldest part of the building is the W end, which may be ascribed to the 12th century. In all probability this portion originally existed as a free- standing-single chambered church having and overall length of 13.3m. This building was subsequently extended eastwards for a distance of 9.1m, the original E gable, however, being partially retained as a chancel division. The junction of the earlier and later work is clearly visible in the external masonry of the S wall, whose alignment changes abruptly at this point. To judge by the character of the window in the E gable-wall, the extension of the church was probably carried out some time in the 13th century. Few subsequent alterations appear to have been made to the fabric while the church remained in use for worship, but a number of burial-enclosures have been erected in and about the building within the past century or so.
A number of grave-slabs and other carved stones dating from the 13th to 18th centuries, within and in the vicinity of the church are also described.
