Parish church, originally private chapel of Honiley Hall, which has been demolished. Built in 1723. Probably by Francis Smith of Warwick. Small Baroque church largely unaltered. The nave has north and south round-headed windows with continuous impost and keyblocks, the westernmost window is smaller with bullseye above flanked by giant pilasters. Pilaster also at each end. Parapet and heavy cornice continued around the semicircular apse which also has round-headed windows. The same cornice embraces the west tower of three diminishing stages with pilastered angles. The top stage has bullseyes and volutes at the angles surmounted by obelisks and a short octagonal stone spire with ball finial and weathervane. Round headed west doorway at base of tower with bullseyes above and original panelled door inside.
Interior: marble giant Corinthian pilasters in the apse without an entablature. Modillion cornice around the plain ceiling. Round tower arch with panelled gallery in front on two Corinthian marble columns. Altar rail with large balusters. Box pews with fielded panels. Polygonal pulpit with fielded panels. Font under the tower - a small circular marble basin set into a niche.
