Designed by Sam Scorer and consecrated in 1963, it is a Grade II* listed building.

The original temporary Anglican church and combined community centre were the first public buildings opened on the estate in 1956.

[2] The vicar who commissioned it, the Revd John Hodgkinson, wrote "the emphasis was very much on church as people rather than a building".

[1] The church's roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid rising from two points on the ground to north and south.

[3] The altar is raised on four steps in a circular sanctuary area to the eastern side of the hexagon.
