Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, stone cross finial, bargeboards to porches and rendered chimneystack to vestry. Pebbledashed walls with rendered plinth.

Appraisal
Set back from the road within mature grounds and bounded by randomstone wall with cast-iron gates, this church occupies a pleasant site. Its modest and understated design is subtly enhanced by artistically designed stained glass windows. As a centre for religious activity, it is a socially significant structure.
