1790-94 by architect John Carr. In 1790, Carr obtained permission to demolish the former medieval church on this site (only two medieval grave covers survive) and build a new church at his own expense. John Carr is buried in the family vault underneath the north transept. A small vestry was added at the north east in 1884, which involved blocking up one of the original north windows. Stepped access down from the north side of the chancel leads in to the vestry. A Lady Chapel was also added to the adjascent south side in 1920-1 by W. C. Windley, and remains in-keeping with the rest of the classical style.
