The church is built of local flint with ashlar stone dressings. The tower is of four storeys with a crenellated parapet. [1] The style is mainly Decorated Gothic. [10] The interior was heavily restored by Richard Phipson, architect to the Diocese of Norwich, in the mid-19th century. [4]

After the grandness of the exterior, stepping inside is at first a bit of a disappointment. Stowmarket was a significant industrial town in the 19th Century, and had a strong tradition of protestant ministry. Because of this, very little that was medieval survived the Victorian restoration, which was by Diocesan architect Richard Phipson.
