Church. 1844-7, by Augustus Northmore Welby Pugin for Magdalen College, Oxford. Coursed limestone rubble, ashlar dressings; gabled stone slate roof with crested ridge tiles; concrete tile roof to vestry and adjoining part of chancel roof; stone gable end stack to vestry. Chancel with north vestry, nave with west bellcote. Gothic Revival style. Decorated-style three-light east window. Vestry has plain pointed doorway and shallow pointed moulded surrounds to two-light windows. Two bay chancel and four bay nave have one- and two-light trefoil-headed windows. Gabled south porch to left has plain pointed chamfered doorways. Offset buttresses at all bay divisions: west bellcote supported by offset buttress at centre of west wall.

Interior: chancel has finely carved reredos, benches with carved bench ends, communion rail and priest's chair with curved stretchers. Encaustic tile floor: trussed rafter roof with embattled wall plate has fine stencilled painting, probably by Pugin. Nave has pulpit, lectern and some benches with carved ends by Pugin. Octagonal font, with carved panels and bowl supports, given by Queen Adelaide. Three fine chandeliers, and three candelabra on each wall. The plans by Pugin (dated 1844) and much correspondence relating to the church's building survive at Magdalen College, Oxford. The church cost £596 to build: Pugin wrote, "I first drew it out with a Tower, but it then cost 645, so I have altered it into a Belfry". This church was Pugin's only Anglican commission.
