Description of Archaeology and History
The architects were Brodrick, Lowther and Walker; the church was begun in 1898 and consecrated in October 1903.
Exterior Description
The building is in the lancet style with the minimum of external detail save hoodmoulds of moulded brick to every window. The nave is roofed with the aisles under an all embracing sweep of slate, roof, the position of the aisles being inconspicuously indicated by a slight change in pitch. The two eastern bays of the aisles are roofed in this fashion, and each has three lancet windows. The three bays further west, however, have cross-gables which allow for much taller pairs of lancets. Each bay is marked from its neighbours by a simple buttress.
The chancel has five graded lancets in the east wall and a pair of lancets in the north wall. The south chapel allows no windows in the south wall and is itself lit by three pairs of lancets, the central pair taller and placed under a cross-gable. By the south aisle is a small porch and at the junction of nave, chancel, aisle and chapel is a small bell-cote.
Interior
Interior Description
The Early English origins of the style of the church are further displayed in the cylindrical piers to the nave arcades, with alternately around and octagonal moulded capitals and bases. The arches are double chamfered and rest upon semi-circular corbels at the east and west responds. The roof is carried on moulded corbels and is of a simple arch-braced construction. The floor in the nave and aisles is of wood blocks with concrete alleys. The aisle roofs are boarded.
The chancel arch is of two chamfered orders, the outer continuing to the ground and the inner supported on triple colonettes ringed at the mid-point which are carried on small corbels. The chancel roof is of similar construction to the nave roof, but is boarded to form a pointed vault. On the north an arch opens into the organ chamber and on the south lies a chapel in which the sacrament is reserved. The only stained glass to feature in the church is at the west end of the south aisle.
