Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
A temporary church was first established in this area in 1864. This was replaced by a permanent structure in 1869. The new building was of brick with stone dressings, designed by Habershon and Brock in the Decorated style. It seated 1,150. A parish was assigned to the church in 1871, taken from the parishes of Christ Church and Saint Paul's. A church hall was added in 1881. The church building was restored in 1982.
