Description

"The money was raised by a committee of local gentlemen and the church was opened in June 1858 and consecrated on 19 January 1859. The architects were T Talbot Bury & Hering: the builder was George Myers. It is the usual Talbot Bury design: Middle-Pointed with a tower and spire at the (ritual) north-west: cruciform, with a rather short chancel. There are Kentish rag walls, with Bath stone dressings and slate roofs. The front rises from the pavement, and there are trees and grass on the left. Tall arcades, with naturalistic capitals; there are galleries at the west and in the transepts."

(from 'Parish Churches of London', Basil F L Clarke, Batsford, 1966)
