Of the listed buildings, 17 are pillboxes in the airfield, and the others consist of a church, a country house (later a school), a smaller house, an estate lodge and gateway, a former rectory, and a war memorial.
The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, including remodelling in about 1812 when a mausoleum was incorporated. The tower is in stone, the south extension is in brick, and the rest of the church is stuccoed. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south mausoleum, a chancel, a south vestry, and a northwest tower. The tower has a single stage, a diagonal buttress, a west doorway, Gothic windows, triangular-headed two-light bell openings, and a stepped embattledparapet. At the east end is a crow-stepped parapet with obeliskfinials, and the nave has a hipped roof, under which is a zigzag brick frieze. Attached to the mausoleum is an embattled five-bayarcaded wall divided by buttresses with obelisk finials.[2][3]
