The church was built in 1850 on what was then Camp Road (now Oatland Lane). It served an area of dense terraced housing, which was all demolished in the early 1960s, and the church went not long afterwards. Now the area has been redeveloped with new housing, school, shops and community centre, but the site of the church remains a public open space with a children's playground.
