A stone rubble church with ashlars dressing. Mainly C13 with later work. The Church was begun in the warly part of the C13 by Bishop Eustace (1198-1215). It has a wide nave of 7 bays (Transitional) with slender plain piers and captials with scalloped ornamentation. THe clerestory is C15. The fine north doorway is early C13, with orders, columns with shaft riings, stiff-leaf capitals and a pointed arch with chevron ornamentation. Most likely it was the work of craftsment from the Cathedral workshop. The chancel has lancet windows on the south side (except the 1st window from the west end) and perpendicular windows on the north side. The west tower and stone spire is of the C14. The tower has angle buttresses with 3 offsets and corner pinnacles and the spire has tall arched dormer windows at the base and small dormer windows near the top.
