The parish is in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England and receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry.

[2] The previous church was built to the designs of George Taylor of Coventry, as a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity Church, Coventry and consecrated on 29 September 1874 by Henry Philpott, the Bishop of Worcester.

[4] Following the church's destruction, the parishioners resorted to using a wooden hall for worship and social activities.

The nave and chancel are undivided and the north aisle includes a Lady Chapel and baptistery.

The church had seated accommodation for around 430 people, with the nave designed to allow all parts to have an uninterrupted view of the altar.

[6][5] An extension was added to the south-east side of the church in circa 1964 to provide a new choir vestry, committee room, cloakroom, lobby and lavatory accommodation.

[14] In 2024, Coventry City Council approved plans for the demolition of the church and the redevelopment of the site with a 38-bed care home.

[17][13] The church's bells, plaque and cross were retained and returned to the diocese for future use.
