Important both in its own right and as part of Appledore's history, it is particularly important for its contribution to the street scene of the Appledore Conservation Area.
Substantially remodelled in the late 19th century, when it appears to have been re-windowed, re-pewed, had a new altar and pulpit inserted and the exterior stuccoed. Its origiinal construction date is presumably 1816 (datestone). Internally, the gallery on cast columns, the coffered ceiling and the nich behind the pulpit all appear to have survived from this earlier period. The rest of the fittings date from the the late 19th century, particularly the ranks of pine pews and the substantial pulpit and corgan construction.

Relatively grand, with a rendered pedimented front, Doric doorway, rusticated window surrounds and a bell cupola.
