Summary Description

A very large and impressive Victorian Gothic stone church with a prominent tower carefully exploiting a hillside site, all these factors giving the church considerable landscape presence. The church was built 1890-92, designed by H J Austin of Austin & Paley. It is designed in the Perpendicular style, but with the inventiveness characteristic of the best late Victorian and Edwardian churches in this idiom.
