Summary Description

The church was built at the command of Queen Victoria, but since no tower was provided one was added rather later at the request of the local inhabitants. The building is a fine example of the skill with which proficient Victorian architects could provide a building of character with limited funds. There are no frills or unnecessary decorative details, and the whole effect of the church is gained by simple geometry.
