The church originated in the 17th century. It has a buttress dated 1730 and the church was restored in 1795.[1] In 1871 a Victorian restoration was carried out by John Douglas, which included a bell turret.[3] A further restoration with the addition of a chancel, attributed to John Douglas, was carried out around 1878.[4]

The west window is simple with Y-tracery. The bell turret is at the west end and has a pyramidal roof.[1]
