Background
History
The church was built in two phases. The first phase was in 1896–97, it was designed by C. E. Deacon, and comprised the four western bays of the nave and the porches. The second phase came in 1908–09, by Deacon and Horsburgh, when another bay was added to the nave, and the chancel and vestries were built. A tower and spire were planned above the west bay of the chancel, but these were never built.
Architecture
Inside the church the four-bay arcades are carried on square chamfered piers with capitals carved with foliage. The arches are plain and chamfered. The chancel arch is sharply pointed, and its capitals are carved with angels. In the chancel is a brick sedilia with putti in terracotta. This has been superseded by a Makin electronic organ.
