The churchs oldest sections are the nave and South aisle, from the 12th century. The arch above the disused South doorway features Norman chevron carving. The 13th century saw the addition of the current chancel and the North aisle, North chapel and tower were built in the 15th century. Restorations occurred in the 17th, 19th and 21st centuries, the latter incorporating modern kitchen and toilet facilities and a bell-ringing platform in the tower.
The relatively short nave is a similar length to the comparatively long chancel and sanctuary. The Romanesque arcades separating the nave and aisles are 12th century, with simple round-headed arches and plain round pillars topped by scalloped capitals. The large stone tub font is also 12th century, roughly carved with bands of geometric ornamentation.
Much of the stained glass is 19th century or younger, but a pair of lights in the chancels South wall have been filled with fragments of 14th and 15th century stained glass.
The carved and painted timber reredos feature biblical scenes, the nativity and crucifixion flank a recreation of da Vincis The Last Supper. The reredos were gifted to the church in 1881 by Lucy Corbet of Acton Reynauld Hall.
