It was built to designs of the architect Robert Hargreave Brodrick.

The church includes a nave, chancel, apsidal vestry, organ chamber, south porch, and bell cote.

Constructed using brick with stone accents, it features window jambs and string courses made of molded red and blue Staffordshire bricks.

The floor was laid with Maw's encaustic tiles, and the church was lit with a brass gas corona.

The church was consecrated on 23 April 1878 by the Bishop of Ripon.
