Summary Description

Rural setting, The church was designed by Samuel Pountney-Smith and built in 1859. The patron was John Arthur Lloyd, who also commissioned the former vicarage adjoining the church. These buildings were intended to be the centre of a model village, but John Arthur died in 1864 and the village was never built. The tower and spire was added in 1871, and the north aisle in 1872, both commissioned by Charles Spenser Lloyd. The walls are built in Grinshill sandstone, with plain tiled roofs.
