Introduction

The church was built in 1789 by the Constable family as a replacement for earlier rooms and buildings in and around Burton Constable Hall and estate which had served as chapels throughout the Recusant period.

The church has a stained-glass window dated 1946. The church has a single tall storey, three bays with a single-bay extension to the east and a porch to the west. The entrance is a double plank door to the south side of the porch under a round arch. The west end has a 16-pane sash to the right of the door and a 16-pane window with radial glazing to the head in the gable.

The interior has an arcade of blank round-arched recesses with raised imposts on the north side, and a similar arcade containing windows on the south side. The interior has a moulded cornice and a segmental vault. The church has a shallow chancel bay with wall paintings. The church retains remains of box pews to the west.
