Description of Archaeology and History
By Cory & Ferguson of Carlisle, 1868-9. (The foundation stone was laid by the Fart of Shaftesbury, September 2nd 1868). The parish was carved out of St. Peter's in 1867 and the present building superceded a temporary church, also of brick and in the simplest lancet style, which seems to have lasted for a very short time only.
Exterior Description
The camanile was added in 1878 and had, until 1957, a saddIeback roof; without it much of the 'punch' of the building is lacking - but the church is a notable feature of.the townscape. The lavish carving, both outside .(eg. the 'south entrance to the campanile) and in was executed by Brindley & Farmer. In the middle of the tall gabled west front, above the apsidal baptistery is a large wheel window given in memory of. Bishop Sumner of Winchester.
Building Fabric and Features
Stained Glass
The seven tall round headed windows in the chancel apse are by A.K.Nicholson, 1923, and their theme is the Te Deum. The stained glass formerly in that position is .now in the baptistery apse.
Interior
Interior Description
The interior is remarkable for its polychromatic brickwork and its sheer size. This is an effect heightened by the width of the aisles, and the very steeply pitched angle of their roofs, and also by the curious way in which the panelling of the lofty nave roof is diagonally arranged in great sweeping curves, changing to alternate directions in alternate bays.
