Tower and Lady Chapel (1900-06) by JT Micklethwaite. Squared Devonian limestone rubble; the top stage of tower and the dressings apparently of oolitic limestone; mostly probably Bath stone, although the south-east nave window may be of Beer stone. Tiled roof. Nave orientated NW-SE with east and west aisles; chancel with east and west chancel chapels; additional west aisle (probably the former Lady Chapel) with tower at south end. Perpendicular style with traceried windows. South end of nave flanked by tall, octagonal pinnacled buttresses; at either side of these is a small entrance-porch, reached from Church Street by a long flight of stone steps. Main entrance is by a pointed-arched doorway in the tower, this having 3 empty niches above it; doorway carved with date 1906. 3-stage tower with pinnacles. Lady Chapel with buttresses. INTERIOR: nave has arcade of 5 pointed arches each side; 4 similar arches opening into Lady Chapel. Chancel has 3-sided north end; chancel arch with coloured marble shafts.

Boarded waggon-roof, with bosses, to nave. Pitched beamed roofs to aisles, that to the Lady Chapel with bosses. Open roofs with arch-braced trusses to chancel and east chancel chapel. At south end of nave 2 stone plaques. One records the start of the rebuilding of the church in 1884, and the other a new nave roof in 1898. Fittings: sexagonal wooden pulpit in Gothic style, carved with seaweed; taken from the original church. Black marble font in east aisle; probably early C19. Pink marble font at south end of nave, with inscription recording baptism in 1874. Reredos in chancel; 1938 by Stanley N Babb.
