It is a small but neat structure, consisting of nave and apsidal chancel, neatly fitted up. The unsightly and diminutive gable turret which was substituted for the old massive tower, which contained three ancient bells, was struck by lightning on the 17th August, 1871, and completely cut through without doing any damage to rest of the building. The incumbent is using laudable and zealous efforts to rebuild the demolished tower, and has already collected over £360 towards that object.
