The church dates from the 1790s.[2] The present building in yellow and red brick, which is Grade II listed[1] and dates from 1824, was the gift of Elizabeth Doughty.[3] It was designed by Thomas Hardwick.[3] A gallery was added in 1851.[3] The chancel, presbytery and tower were rebuilt in 1903[4] according to plans drawn up by the architect Frederick Walters.[5]
