Photo taken on a visit during Heritage Open Days 2010. In 1875 an Act of Parliament created a new parish by dividing the original Milverton parish into two. This parish was then known as New Milverton. The money for building the church came from the legacy of Lady Frances Wheler, the sister of the parish's first vicar Charles Carus-Wilson. The land was given by the Heber-Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland. The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott junior, is his only surviving church, and is thought to be his best surviving work. There is a magnificent set of stained glass windows, some by the famous stained glass artist William Kempe.
