Summary Description

The site for the church was provided by houses standing at right angles on the street corner, and this explains the awkward plan of the building. The south and east walls rise sheer from the pavement to a great height considering the relatively small size of the building, and the bays of the nave are recessed slightly leaving shallow buttresses the same depth as the plinth at the base of the walls rising between the windows. At sill level is a moulded stringcourse and five of the windows are of the same dimensions, all of three lights and four with identical tracery design of quatrefoils between intersecting ribs while the fifth, at the east end, has three trefoils within a circle.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
