Snecked rock-faced limestone walls with angle buttresses. Pair of lancet windows to each bay, with either quatrefoil or hexafoil window above. Wheel window to west front and simple round plate tracery window to each transept gable. Elaborate pointed doorcase with roll mouldings and paired colonnettes within porch. Banded pitched slate roof with eaves corbels. Bellcote to south transept. Timber scissors truss roof on corbels to interior. Ashlar gate piers with cast-iron gates and simple wrought-iron archway.
Appraisal
An imposing church in a simple Gothic Revival idiom, finely built and substantially in original condition. Strategically located at this junction which it dominates.
