Exterior	Walls are clapboarded and painted white. The tower is obviously of a considerably later date than the church. It is a curious square shaped tower in three stages terminating with a belfry with flat arched openings filled with louvres.
Interior	The plan is a simple rectangle divided into four bays by six square columns, three on each side, forming a nave and two aisles. The eastern bay forms the chancel, with a sacristry on the south side and the choir on the north side. Both choir and sacristry are the width of the aisles and there is a gallery at the west end occupying the space over the first bay and a portion of the second. The gallery is separated from the nave in both the first and gallery floors by a paneled screen of a later date, thus forming two rooms at the west end that appear to be used for parish rooms. The ceiling of the nave is plastered, and is in the form of a barrel vault supported on the square wood columns of the nave. These columns of the nave are paneled and have delicately moulded capitals, with a small beaded moulding. The eastern bay which contains the chancel appears to be a later addition, though doubtless it is still of the early nineteenth century. The ceiling of the chancel is also a plastered barrel vault springing from the same level at the top of the nave columns, but of a flatter segment which places the crown at a lower level than the nave vault.
