It became a parish church during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I . The chancel was built in 1671 for Dean Bridgeman and the tower is dated 1744. By the 18th and early 19th centuries the church was in a poor condition.[ 3] restoration was carried out in 1871 by John Douglas , who performed a more substantial scheme in 1883.[ 4]
The church is built in red sandstone ashlar with a red tile roof. There is some medieval stone work in the north aisle . The church consists of a four-bay nave with a north aisle, a south porch and a three-bay chancel. The four-stage tower is at the west end, with a clock in its third stage.[ 1] hammer beam and the ends of the hammers bear the arms of Dean Bridgeman.[ 3]

It consists of a square base of two steps with a socket containing a slightly tapering octagonal shaft and a cap of buff sandstone.
