Construction of the church began in the 13th century and continued in stages during the 14th and 15th centuries. It is built of local rag-stone and the roofs are covered with plain tiles. The nave is flanked by a single aisle on the north side and entered from a porch on the south side. At the west end of the nave is a square three-storey tower with a crenellated parapet, a stair turret on its south-east corner and staggered buttresses on the other three corners. Three stone beasts sit on the corners of the parapet. These are replacements of originals eroded over time, which may have originally represented three wolves from the ancestor of Fludd line Rhirid Flaidd coat of arms.
The arcade between the nave and aisle has four bays and was constructed in the 14th century with the two at the east end rebuilt in the 15th century. A single arch at the west end of the arcade is possibly Anglo-Saxon. The south wall of the nave contains a stair to the rood loft. The chancel contains 13th-century sedile and piscina. Restoration of the church includes 19th-century panelling and pews in the nave and aisle, followed by 20th-century replacement of much of the roof.
