Overview
Grid reference: SU 875 607
As originally built the church was without its south aisle but this was added, by the architect, in 1906. The south chapel, furnished as a Lady Chapel, and the baptistery were added at the same time. The exterior is plain, but quite pleasing, with walls of red brick and tiled roof coverings. The windows are either single lancets or in groups of two or three - except for the chancel east window, which is of five lights and contains good glass designed by G.F. Bodley and made by Burlison and Grylls.
