It has grown over the years and is now a suburban/rural community mix of commuters and retirees with a lot of building development having taken place to the east of the village up to the A3.

It is a small church consisting of an Aisleless Nave and Chancel, North Vestry, South Porch, Small cusped lanuts, three at the East end. The West end has a Coupled Window and Perpendicular Window (from the old church) flanked by massive Stepped Buttresses which support a prominent Belfry with coupled gables, bell openings with two bells and minor buttresses at the top. The interior is traditional Victorian but with polychromatic brickwork.
