The first part of the present church to be completed was the nave which was consecrated on 9th April 1869. The rest of the building was completed in stages as funds permitted. The first addition was the north aisle which was completed in 1874, followed by the south aisle in 1880. Work on the chancel was completed in the 1890s. Plans were laid for full transepts and a substantial tower with spire, but these were never built. A fuller history can be found at http://www.christchurchnorthfinchley.co.uk/index.php?page=buildings
