The original church built on this site was designed by E. M. Gibbs,[2] and was opened on 24 April 1879.

The church reopened on 9 September 1888; it is a Grade II* listed building.

[3] The War Memorial in the churchyard consists of a 16 ft Runic Cross made from unpolished Cornish granite, with carved panels on front and back designed by Mr. A.F.

It is a large three-manual instrument, generally considered to be one of the finest pipe organs in the area.

[5] In 2020, the organ underwent an extensive overhaul to repair damage caused by a partial collapse of the ceiling in October 2017.
