The present church, a long low structure, comprises a nave of early date, and a chancel of the fourteenth century; two chapels have since been added, forming north and south transepts, and at the west end is a square embattled tower, built in the year 1811. There are places of worship for Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists, and Independents.
