Summary Description

The fine Victorian church and small churchyard are all that remains of the village of Lowfield Heath, the 16th-19th century cottages all demolished since the 1970s and replaced by industrial units. The church was built and furnished in 1867 to designs by the noted High Gothic Revival architect and designer William Burges, best known for his restoration of Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch and his own house in Melbury Road, London. The architectural style chosen is of the early 13th century, with plate tracery 2-lights (lancets with a quatrefoil in the head within a roundel) in the nave side walls and a large such window in the east chancel wall, two lancets in the south wall.
