Building of the present church started in 1763, the contractors being William Toovey and Joseph Tuckwell.

In 1767 the interior of the church was paved, pews were added, and the exterior was stuccoed under the supervision of Sir Robert Taylor.

A local resident, Sir William Blackstone, a lawyer and author of the Commentaries on the Laws of England, took an interest in the building of the spire and paid for the clock face visible from his house.

[5] The plan of the church consists of a four-bay nave, a chancel with an apse, and a west tower with a spire.

In the east window is stained glass dating from 1918 by Morris & Co. On the south wall is a monument to Sir William Blackstone and his family.
