The church comprises elements from the 12th century and later. It is constructed of flint and stone, and the belfry turret, and roofs are hung with tiles.[3]
It fell out of use after the Second World War and was declared structurally unsafe in 1960. It was then acquired by the Chesil Theatre company.
Organ edit
The church contained a small one-manual pipe organ. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[4]
