Built in 1870 to the design of J.Norton, the church features a rather splendid rose window. The aisles are unusual in that they are roofed at rightangles to their alignment, resulting in 5 peaks along their length. Originally there were mini-spires between each of these roofs but they have been removed at some time in the past. The porch below the rose window was added in an attempt to prevent draughts.
