The contractor was Mr Glaistor of Liverpool, Hardman & Co. of Birmingham made the windows and brasswork and Richard Lockwood Boulton of Worcester was stonemason. The church was opened on 22 November 1863 by Bishop William Turner. The presbytery and sacristy were completed in 1865 and the church was consecrated by Bishop William Turner on 18 June 1867.
