The Church is a medium sized medieval Church of England building capable of accomodating about 120 people.
It is noted for its good acoustics and has a fine seventeenth century organ.
The organ was put in place in 1879 at which time it had been rebuilt. However, the original instrument, of which much is still in situ, was built by ‘Father Smith’, (Bernhardt Schmidt, a German craftsman who emigrated to England in 1667 and took the name Bernard Smith, one of the two greatest organ builders of the seventeenth century) and dates to 1670. It was originally constructed for the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford.
A service of Holy Communion using the Book of Common Prayer is held at 08:00 on the fouth Sunday of April and July.
