Summary Description

This is a tall and impressive town church, clearly an expensive job, in Free French Gothic style reminiscent of James Brook’s best work, with Arts and Crafts details. The church was built in 1892-1897 to serve the new southern part of the town to designs of Fulford, Tait and Harvey, but could not be completed as planned. The west end was completed by W D Caröe in 1929-1930, but the intended tower was never built.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
