The church, in a Gothic Revival style,[1] has a three-bay nave with a two-stage tower and gable-fronted porch. The chancel to the east side and later side aisle extension to the south were added by William Burges in 1865-68.[1] Built by Joseph Welland on the site of an earlier medieval church, the church retains "numerous original features", including stained glass by William Gualbert Saunders and Henry Holiday.[1]
The Reverend Robert Gregg was rector from 1865–74 and son of Bishop John Gregg, Burges's patron at Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork. Burges's commission, and the church, were modest; he was only asked to design an additional south aisle and vestry;[2] but Crook writes that the design reveals "an original architectural mind. And the stained glass is predictably good."[2]
