Dedicated in April 1972, this was a new church reflecting the enormous expansion of Ravenshead after World War 2. The design reflected the trend towards a more corporate liturgy with a forward altar. The roof of the body of the church is in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid, by one of the UK's principal exponents, Hugh Tottenham. The church was Listed Grade II in 2018.
