Summary Description

This is a simple, yet dignified Victorian church designed in the Early English style. The steeply pitched and unusually deep nave roof and tall gabled west belcote give considerable vertical emphasis. The interior is impressive in its scale, with the whitewashed space sitting under scissor-braced trusses of the roof. It was built from 1862-5 to designs by Isaac Holden & Son.
