An early work of the architect Arthur Blomfield,[1] the church building, which is in stone, was erected between 1862 and 1864 and extended in 1887.

[2] It was built on farmland at the entrance of East Sheen Common.

It was originally planned to be opened in April 1863; however, the tower collapsed shortly before completion and had to be rebuilt.

The church was finally completed and consecrated nine months later, on 13 January 1864.

[5] In 2024 the lighting system in the church was replaced thanks to a legacy from the late Edward Steers, former Reader of the parish.
