Summary Description

A Victorian town church of stone located in a quiet suburb of Redditch named after the church. The present church building was built in 1876 as part of a new suburb just south of the town centre. The architect was Frederick Preedy, a prolific architect and stained glass artist raised in Evesham. The church was extended in 1899 by Herbert Lloyd with the addition of a north aisle, north organ chamber, and vestry. Both phases of work were supported by grants from the ICBS.
