The church dates from the 12th century. Mortuary chapels were added in about 1697 and in about 1712. The main part of the church was restored and virtually rebuilt in 1886 by Ewan Christian. A further restoration was carried out in 1902.

Inside the church is a double-chamfered chancel arch, and arches between the chancel and the chapels. The chapels have wooden barrel roofs. There is a piscina in the nave and another in the chancel, both of which are damaged. The reredos is partly painted and partly in mosaic, with a marble triptych. On the sanctuary walls are paintings by Clayton and Bell dating from about 1886. Between the chancel and the chapels are 19th-century screens. In the chapels are hatchments, two in the north chapel and one in the south. The windows contain Victorian stained glass.
