The church was built between 1827 and 1829 as a result of the Church Building Act of 1818 and 1824, when £1.5m was made available by the government to build new churches following the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The land used was donated by the lord of the South Crosland manor, Richard Henry Beaumont (1805-1857). The foundation stone was laid on 15 October 1827 by the Rev. Lewis Jones - the Vicar of Almondbury. The building was designed by Peter Atkinson and built by Joseph Kaye using ashlar stone. The cost of construction was £2,168 and the original seating capacity was 700.
