The foundation stone was laid on 31 July 1895 by the Honorable Mrs Trelawny of Shotwick House.

It was designed by the Manchester architect J. Medland Taylor, and built at an estimated cost of £1,288 (equivalent to £190,000 in 2023).

[5] The expansion consisted of a north aisle, a spire on the tower and, at the east end, a chancel, sanctuary, organ chamber, and vestry.

The parishioners paid for the new aisle, and the rest was donated by the Vernon family, then living at Shotwick House.

During the last years of the 20th century the aisle was partitioned off to provide a meeting room with modern facilities.
