[edit] History

It was a gift to the town by Michael Bass, 1st Baron Burton at a cost of £38,000. The architect was George Frederick Bodley but he died before the church was completed and it was finished by Cecil Hare. Work started in 1903 and the church dedication took place in 1910.

It has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as the finest building by far in Burton-on-Trent.
