It was designed by Harold Stratton Davis and built in 1933–1934 in a fifteenth-century perpendicular Gothic style.
It uses local materials such as Coleford red brick laid in Flemish bond, Guiting stone dressings, and Delabole slate (from Cornwall) for the roof.
Local blacksmith Alfred Bucknell made the cast-iron rainwater heads and other ironwork.
[4] It is Grade II listed with Historic England who describe it as notable for its largely unaltered 1930s decorative scheme which uses fittings mostly designed by the architect that remain a "remarkably complete suite".
[4] The majority of the stained glass is not original to the church with much German or Dutch of the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
