It was built in 1866 by Mr Jackman, but has parts of it designed by John Francis Bentley, Nathaniel Westlake and Paul Woodroffe.

It is a Gothic Revival church and a Grade II listed building.

In 1856, a mission was started in Brentford to serve the Irish population who worked on the railways there.

In 1883, John Francis Bentley was recruited by the priest, J. W. Redman, to design a new altar, reredos and narthex in the church.

From 1883 to 1884, stained glass windows were installed in the north of the church, designed by Nathaniel Westlake.
