The church was consecrated in 1956, built to serve the new housing estates developed at this time as Gainsborough expanded beyond its Medieval core around the parish church of All Saints. The hall was added somewhat later.
This is a plainly designed church, and quite typical in style of the decade each side of the War. There is architectural flourish in the tower, a square funnel with hipped roof, square openings with oak louvres. The foundation stone is set into the porch underneath. The nave windows are domestic, set irregularly, the east end has coloured glass in three slit windows, the central one in a cross shape.
