Description

"One of the churches promoted by Richard Foster. The architect was E Tapnell Allen. The foundation stone was laid on 15 June 1886, and the church consecrated on 25 June 1887. Work was done in 1911 by G H Fellowes Prynne.

Early English style, of brick - red outside, and yellow and red within. It has a nave and aisles of four bays, and a short west bay; a with organ in the base of an unbuilt tower on the north, and a chapel on the south. Some of the details look Butterfieldian. There are four windows by Heaton, Butler and Bayne in the north aisle; and one by G Cooper Abbs in the chapel."
