History
The church, designed by George Gilbert Scott, who also designed the Martyrs' Memorial and the Exeter College Chapel, was built in 1848–49, to serve the spiritual needs of those living and working in the then-active quarry. Its foundation stone was laid on 19 June 1848 by Samuel Wilberforce, the son of William Wilberforce and then Bishop of Oxford, who consecrated the building on completion. The Lewis brothers, C. S.

Above the altar is the Christ in Glory stained glass window, installed in 1951 as a memorial to those who died in World War…
