[4] Akroyd appointed Sir George Gilbert Scott as architect, and the church was completed in 1859.
[2] The tower has four stages, on the top of which is a parapet containing arches, and an octagonal, crocketted pinnacle at each corner.
At the west end of the church is a deeply recessed doorway, over which is a tympanum containing sculpture.
[4] All the carving in the church was overseen by the sculptor John Birnie Philip,[6] and the screen was made by Francis Skidmore.
[citation needed] The original organ dating from the opening of the building was a smaller instrument occupying half the space of its successor,[citation needed] the present instrument built in 1868 by Forster and Andrews of Hull to a specification by Edmund Schulze.
[10] After the church was declared redundant, the entrance doorway in the south porch was boarded up to prevent vandalism.
This was considered to be unsightly, and the Churches Conservation Trust commissioned the design and construction of a set of gates.
These are made in iron and have been painted in reddish-brown to complement Scott's design, and the cross and floral motifs have been gilded.
At the same time, some conservation work was carried out to the surrounding stonework in the porch, and also around the west window.
