The church is a cruciform structure, chiefly in the Norman style, with transepts, and a tower rising from the intersection, and has several enriched doors and arches; above the principal entrance is a beautiful statue of Our Saviour: the font is early English, curiously formed and ornamented. Here are places of worship for Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists. £100 per annum, the bequest of William Gill in1728, are divided at Christmas among twenty poor families who have not received parochial relief; and there are some minor charities.
