The present beautiful church was begun in the rectorship of Fr. Romuald Turner, appointed 1878. Bishop Vaughan laid the foundation stone in 1879. The opening of the new church in 1880 was graced by the presence of a most distinguished gathering. Bishop Hedley sang the Pontifical High Mass in presence of Bishop Vaughan. The deacon was the Prior of Downside, Dom Aidan Gasquet, afterwards Cardinal. The Prior of Ampleforth, Dom Placid Whittle, was assistant to the Bishop. In the evening Bishop Hedley preached and the collections from the large congregations totalled £250.
