History

The church was built in 1867 to a design by S. W. Dawkes.[3] In 1911 a vestry was added.[2] The following year the south aisle was built; it was designed by John Douglas in collaboration with F. (or J.) Walley, but not completed until after Douglas' death.[3] The furnishing of the church was reordered in the later part of the 20th century by Graham Holland.[2]

Architecture

The church is built in red sandstone with grey-green slate roofs. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with north and south aisles, all under separate roofs, a chancel, a southwest tower with a broach spire, a flat roofed vestry at the southeast, and a north porch with a gable. The windows have plate tracery.[2]
