Background
Architecture
The present building dates from 1904 to 1905, although the church was founded 15 years previously as a mission. Designed by Reading-based Scottish architect Montague Wheeler, the building is primarily Arts and Crafts but has Gothic references. The brickwork is red brick English bond with some stone and tile dressings, and the roof is slated. The stained glass windows on the western wall were made by Joseph Nuttgens and Reginald Hallward. The eastern face features a larger 1905–6 window by Charles Eamer Kempe. A number of flying buttresses support the building. On the north-west corner is an octagonal stair tower.
