The church was built in 1840 (by Mrs. Michel) in the Gothic style to the designs of Lewis Vulliamy, replacing a smaller and plainer building which was demolished. The plan is cruciform, with a tower and spire above the W. porch.
The W. side of the lower stage is decorated with a cinquefoil-headed panel in a gabled surround with pinnacled side standards and a fleur-de-lis finial; within the surround is a trophy-of-arms in high relief, probably of Coade stone; the trophy is suggestive of the Eglinton Tournament of 1839 and probably was inspired by that event.
