The church was built in 1857 by a noted Victorian architect Samuel Sanders Teulon. It was constructed in the Gothic style of the Middle Pointed or Decorated period (1812-72) on land reclaimed from the sea, known at that time as the America Ground. The site allocated for the building of the Church was oddly shaped and called for all Teulon’s ingenuity and skill. By designing the Church with only one aisle, he was able to produce a longer and loftier nave, (93' x 62') and by placing the buttresses in the interior of the nave instead of outside, he has created a much greater sense of space in the building http://www.1066online.co.uk/hastings-history/hastings-town/hastings-town-history.htm
