The present building, built in 1766, was erected to replace an older building situated in what is now the churchyard. The oldest gravestone is dated 1673.
Notable features inside inclued a tiled floor, beautiful Rocco plasterwork on the ceiling and in the chancel, a balcony fitted out with box pews held up by majestic Corinthian columns and a font, thought to be from the original church.
