The church is notable for its fine tower and broach spire. It is the only church in Rutland of cruciform plan with north and south transepts and a central tower. Despite good quarries locally, the stone came from Barnack, just to the east of Stamford.

The earliest fabric of the church has been dated to around 1190 although there is substantive evidence to indicate an earlier church on the site. Evidence of this period is the chevron decoration above the arch at the east end of the south aisle, carrying a walkway to the entrance to the ringing chamber. The main work of the nave dates from around 1230, with the crossing and belfry stage of the tower being of similar date. The arcade columns and the responds of the tower arch show nail head decoration of the period. An unusual feature of one of the piers of the north arcade is a single dog-tooth decoration just above the capital.

A clerestory was added to the nave in the 15th century, and there is evidence of the earlier roof lines on the wall of the tower facing into the nave. The south aisle windows were rebuilt at this time.

Interior fittings of note include the 14th century font with Decorated tracery carving, and some fine medieval bench ends.

The church is deservedly Listed Grade I.
