There is a nave, chancel, and south aisle; north of the chancel, forming a transept, is the Londonderry mausoleum, within which is a sculptured white marble tomb of the third Marquis of Londonderry. The present building is Grade II* listed.[1]
There was formerly a chantry in this church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
