A small church but not without interest. It consists of a simple nave and chancel with south aisle and south porch.

The core of the nave masonry is 12th century, the aisle, porch and chancel being added in the 13th century. The bellcote is from this period and is possibly the oldest in Rutland. The lancet windows at the west end of nave and aisle are of this date, but the remaining windows were rebuilt in Decorated style in the 14th century. The east window is a 19th century restoration. The main round-arched south door may be the original 12th century doorway moved to its present position, but is more likely to be contemporary with the rest of the south aisle.

Internally the oldest feature is the south aisle arcade, 13th century Early English. Unusually for a church of this size, there are 4 separate piscinas, one in the chancel, two in the south aisle, and one in the north wall of the nave. , indicating the presence of a number of separate chapels. Adjacent to the one at the east end of the south aisle is a small aumbry, and in the chancel a plain sedilia. There is a squint through the north east corner of the south aisle giving a view onto the altar.

The oldest of the fitments is the font, probably 12th century. The pulpit is Jacobean, as is the altar table now in the south aisle. A large parish chest of indeterminate date is carved out of a single piece of oak. There are three pieces of medieval stained glass, a quatrefoil of the crucified Christ in the chancel and two pieces in the east window of the south aisle which were discovered in the 19th century when the squint was opened out again.

The two bells are old. The larger is the older and from one of the casting marks has bee dated to around 1420. The other was cast in 1749.

The church is Listed Grade II*. For more detail see Link
