This church has, unusually in Cornwall, some C13 features

the greater proportion of the building is C15.

Remarkably, with most of the original C15 roof structures intact, and most of the C15 windows.

The squint is particularly interesting, incorporating as it does the jamb reveal of an original C13 window.

The tower is typical of C15 Cornish west towers and is a very complete example.
