History and Architecture:

Gothic Revival in design the original church had pointed arched windows, a slate roof built of dark brown brickwork and stone. The front porch was removed in the 1950's.*

Largely as a result of agitation by Mr Pickering a church building committee was formed in 1867. Mr E. Tatham chaired a meeting at which subscription lists were drawn up and plans were formulated. Mr Baker donated the cost of printing of 100 collection cards of which 25 were immediately taken by Mr Schramm for distribution.*

Local stone was found to be suitable for building purposes and permission was obtained to take stone from a property owned by R Campbell Esq of London.*

The church was erected between 1868-69 to the designs of architect Charles Barrett. The porch and wooden chancel were erected in 1886, being rebuilt in stone in 1932. Extensive additions were made in the late 1960s and early 1970's.*

The Church was opened on Easter Monday 29 March 1869 by Dean H.B. McCartney. Prayers were read by Rev B. Walker and the Dean.*
