Summary Description

The Church was opened in 1864 and enlarged in 1924. Its large size, with extensive pew-seating, is indicative of its considerable importance in the life of the community in the late 19th and early 20th century. The addition of the choir and sanctuary (with large stained glass east window) in the 1920's is of some grandeur. There is a sizeable adjoining Vestry integral to the building on the south side, which serves as a parish room for the congregation.
