History

The first church was built between 1850 and 1852 to the designs of architect Edward Banks. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 22 July 1852.[3]

It comprised a nave and aisles, with north porch and south entrance under the tower. The chancel had an organ chamber on the north side, separated by a stone screen and a vestry. The 6 bay nave was 85 feet (26 m) long and 26 feet (7.9 m) wide. The aisles were 14.5 feet (4.4 m) wide, making the total width 55 feet (17 m). The chancel was 36 feet (11 m) long and 19 feet (5.8 m) wide. The tower was 140 feet (43 m) high. The whole of the exterior and interior is dressed stone and the seats and doors made of oak. The chancel floor was laid with Minton encaustic tiles. It was constructed by G and F Higham of Wolverhampton.[4]
