Introduction to parish

The present building was erected in 1833, and it is certain that God has been worshipped here from the very earliest of times. We know there was a Saxon building here in the 11th century and from earlier in the 7th century there are records of a Christian community.

Buildings are important but People even more so. We trust therefore that your prayers and support will help to make this building not only a place to visit, but also one to worship in. Thus it maybe preserved for future generations and be worthy of Christ's honour and the means of salvation for those who seek Him. The Living God will still be worshipped and The Holy Spirit will reveal the Lord Jesus Christ as the Way of Salvation. May He be the answer to all our varied needs in these difficult days, and the great joy of our lives.

Jesus said "I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by me" John 14: 16.

Built: 1833
Architect: T W Atkinson
Listing: grade 2

The building was completed in 1833 following the closure and subsequent demolition of the Anglo Saxon church nearby.  It is a spare Gothic style in Gault brick with limestone dressings with a long aisleless nave and high square tower.  Subsequently the present transepts and vestries and chancel were built in a red brick with tiled roofs.
