The foundation stone for the church was laid by Robert Alexander Ogg, and work commenced on building the nave, side aisles, the base of the bell tower, and western apse, which were all completed in 1912.

In 1922, work commenced on building the chancel and Lady Chapel, both of which were designed by Gordon Galloway.

It depicts Christ in Glory sitting on a throne over a rainbow, surrounded by the Four Evangelists, the Seraphim four Archangels, and the Heavenly host.
