The church dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations in the following century. It was restored in 1849. During the 19th century the porch and Bellcote were added. The church was declared redundant on 23rd January 1973, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 21st May 1974.
St Mary's is constructed in Flint with stone dressings, and has a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a nave with a south aisle chancel and a north porch. At the west end of the nave gable is a bellcote. The porch is timber-framed on a flint base, with a tiled roof.
The rather attractive doorway is Norman in style.
