Although the church has had many previous workings, the present fabric is almost all the result of the restoration carried out in 1887-89. The acclaimed architect John Dando Sedding was appointed to survey the previous (crumbling) church and later drew up plans for the new one, assisted by C. E. Ponting. Apart from the older parts of the tower, this is their handiwork. Sedding was a firm advocate of Gothicism and passionate about the Arts and Crafts movement.
