A Grade II* listed building, the church was built in the early 20th century in Neo-Byzantine style by the architects G. A.

B. Livesay built the eastern end of the church, establishing a Byzantine style in brick and terracotta which was followed sympathetically by the later architects.

[6] The church was completed by the Arts and Crafts architect Edward Schroeder Prior, in collaboration with Arthur Grove who seems to have concentrated on the finer detailing.

[5] The central double door is surmounted by a shallow terracotta arch which extends between two flanking, polygonal turrets.

[3] It was thereafter sold to the jurisdiction of the Eastern Orthodox Church, first to the Romanian and then to the Antiochian authority, in which hands it remains today.
