It has been described as the best-known work of the architects, an 'extraordinary free-form brick church that forms the nucleus of the most important cluster of their buildings' surviving.[4] The lychgate and rectory that adjoin the main church are also of architectural significance, and each is on the register of protected buildings in its own right.[5][6]
