The main lychgate to the church is off the top of Church Road. The church has a tower, which is not high and is mainly overshadowed by the surrounding trees so is not really visible from afar. There has been a church on the site since 810 but the present building dates from the 12th century with a 14th century porch with room above. The dedication is believed to be the first to St Kenelm, the Cotswold Saint. The south aisle chapel has a stone altar with a six canopy reredos forming part of the window. The 14th century font is octagonal with quatrefoil decoration. Outside, on the south side of the tower is a sundial, which is a recent addition.
