The church was a built of a chapel of ease in the parish of St Peter at Gowts between 1876 and 1877.

The building was constructed in the Early English style to designs by the architect James Fowler.

The consecration service took place on Tuesday 21 May 1878[1] attended by the Bishop of Lincoln, Christopher Wordsworth.

The church was closed and demolished in 1968, and the parish reunited with St Peter at Gowts in 1980.

The specification of the organ and the design for the case were kindly furnished by Canon Frederick Heathcote Sutton, Rector of St. Helen's Church, Brant Broughton.
