A Victorian church built to replace the small original church. The little church by the River Dour was felt to be inadequate and so a scheme for a new church was prepared by the architect James Brookes. The new church was built on the site of the old Charlton School and Master's House and was consecrated on St. Alphege Day, April 19th, 1893. The English Church Union met the cost of the chancel as a tribute to the heroism of the Rector, the Reverend Sidney Faithorn-Green, who spent twenty months in Lancaster Jail rather than recognise the authority of the Privy Council in church affairs.
