Architecture
The present building dates from 1904 to 1905,[2] although the church was founded 15 years previously as a mission.[1] Designed by Reading-based Scottish architect Montague Wheeler, the building is primarily Arts and Crafts but has Gothic references.[2] The brickwork is red brick English bond with some stone and tile dressings, and the roof is slated.[2] The stained glass windows on the western wall were made by Joseph Nuttgens and Reginald Hallward. The eastern face features a larger 1905–6 window by Charles Eamer Kempe.[2] A number of flying buttresses support the building.[2] On the north-west corner is an octagonal stair tower.[2]
Organ
The church organ was installed by William Hill & Sons in 1912. Its loft is located at the west end of the building, and is painted and panelled.[2]
