Background

History

The building originated in the 17th century as a barn. It then became the coach house for the nearly Calveley Hall. In turn, it was converted into a chapel for the hall in about 1838. In 1911 the church was enlarged by the de Knoop family, the owners of the hall, who added a vestry, and the interior of the church was renovated. During the First World War, the hall and church were used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. After the Second World War, the hall became uninhabited, its fabric deteriorated, and it was demolished in 1952. Money was raised, and the future of the church was secured for the local residents. It later became incorporated into the parish of Bunbury.

Architecture

The church is constructed in whitewashed brick with a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, consisting of a three-bay nave and a single-bay chancel. An organ chamber and a porch project to the north. The porch is timber-framed, standing on a sandstone plinth, and has stained glass in the windows on each side. Over the entrance to the porch is an inscription reading "The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in". The windows contain stone mullions and transoms. On the gables are stone finials.
