Summary Description

The Victorian stone parish church was built in an extension to the growing town north of the station, and the scale of it is something of a surprise, very tall and with considerable townscape presence on a wide road in a residential area. The dominant feature of the church is its bulk and scale, followed closely by the typical Freeman motif of yellow stonework and red dressings. The style is free Perpendicular, with much use of Freeman’s curving, spiky tracery. The west gable has a large 5-light pointed window of this type framed by blocky angle buttresses of two weatherings, the case everywhere. There are three bays with a 3-light to each in the nave, the westernmost shorter over tall narrow gabled porches to the west bay.
