History

The foundation stone of the church was laid on 24 March 1878, and the church was formally opened on 22 August 1879 by Edmund Knight, Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury.[4] Its architect was E. J. Torver.[3] It was consecrated on 10 June 1883 by Arthur Riddell, Bishop of Northampton, due to the indisposition of Knight.[4]

Architecture

The church is constructed in red sandstone. Its plan consists of a nave, a west porch, a chancel with a polygonal apse, a north chapel, also with an apse, and a vestry acting as a sacristy. On the ridge of the church is a bellcote. The porch contains panels depicting the symbols of the Evangelists. At the west end of the church is a rose window. Windows contain stained glass by Mayer of Munich.[2][3]

External features

The churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Air Force officer of World War I.[5]
