Background
History
In 1824, a chapel in the Classical Nonconformist style popular for Catholic chapels of the time, was built by Edward James Willson and was designed to seat 200 people. In 1867, Father Algernon Moore, a convert from Anglicanism, commissioned side aisles and a tower to be built in red brick, which was designed by Hadfield and Son, who were based in Sheffield. In the 1980s, roof decay led to a single span roof replacing the nave and aisle roofs.
Description
{|style="margin: 0 auto;" | | |} The church contains three medieval vestments. They are composed of medieval orphreys, mounted on a modern cope and two chasubles which came from the medieval Gilbertine priory at Sixhills. The chasubles date from 1490-1520 and the cope orphreys date from 1390-1420.
