The best part of St. Paul's church is its early 14th C tower with its spire, which is octagonal, very steep, and broached on to the tower. The tower is of two stages with a Perp west window and diagonal west buttresses. Otherwise the church consists of a nave, chancel, north aisle, and a wooden 19th C south porch. Inside the nave has a four-bay 14th C north arcade and a tall, plain, chamfered tower arch. The font is a 14th C octagonal bowl with quatrefoils and sprays of foliage. The pedestal is divided into two tiers of eight attached circular shafts placed around a central pillar; the lower part is probably 13th C. The stained glass east window is by Christopher Webb.
