The church was founded in the mid-19th century by the Reverend Alexander Buchanan, 'squarson' of neighbouring Hales Hall. It was built to the designs of George Gilbert Scott and completed in 1856. The church is constructed of pink sandstone ashlar. The tower, with its prominent stepped angle buttresses, has a hexagonal stair turret attached to its south-east corner, on the right in the photograph. It is a Grade II Listed Building.
