The building externally is of Killinghall stone with Whitby stone dressings. Internally, suitable stone from the old church has been used. The two Norman doorways from the old church, one from the congregation and one for the priest, were preserved and refitted in the new church. The interior underside of the roof is of oak, barrel vaulted with carved bosses and carved figures. The architects were Messres, Domaine and Brierley of York. The church is a grade II listed building. A major maintenance and refurbishment programme was undertaken in 1998.
