Until the mid-19th century, Hensall formed part of the parish of St Laurence's Church, Snaith.
Butterfield also designed the nearby Red House and Hensal Primary School.
[2] The church is built of pinkish-red brick with stone dressings and a grey slate roof.
The tower has a doorway with a pointed arch, a gabled stair turret, slit windows, two-light bell openings, a cogged eaves band, and a pyramidal roof.
Inside, most original features survive, including the pews, chapel screen, piscina, Mintons floor tiles, organ, octagonal pulpit and font, and mosaic reredos, which was restored in 1970.
