Grade I listed The church dates from the 13th century onwards and was restored in the late 19th and early 20th century. There is a fourth stage western tower, nave with clerestory and aisles, chancel, and south porch. The tower dates from the 13th century and has a battlemented parapet. The height of the tower was increased when the rest of the church is enlarged in the 14th century. The tower was restored in 1882. The chancel arch dates from the 13th century and has two corbel heads. The south aisle dates from the 15th century and is the exterior has gargoyles. The south porch is also from that date. The nave arcades are of five bays with octagonal piers and dates from the 14th century. The chancel is of brick from 1781. The nave and chancel roofs are from the late 19th century with painted panels. There is a 15th century octagonal font which is quite unique, although there is a similar one at Covenham Saint Bartholomew (it has now been removed to Manchester) The elaborate carvings depict Virgin Mary and Jesus, Saints Simon and Jude, Saint James the less and Saint Bartholomew and more. There are figures around the stem depicting various Saints, and at the base of the symbols of the four evangelists, a lion, Eagle, Ox and Angel. There are two incised slabs from the late 15th century. The church was restored in 1869, at a cost of £1000. The church has an old Forster and Andrews barrel organ from 1851, and a one manual Forster and Andrews organ still in use.
