Type and Period

Description

Large red brick building with stone dressings built in 1889 to the design by the architect W.D. Caroe (not W.D. Carbe as referred to by Historic England), early example of his work. The west tower was added in 1895 and is in his later style. The nave, transepts and chancel are in the perpendicular style. The west tower with its embattled and pinnacled parapet, carved gargoyles and figures is a free interpretation of the Gothic style. The interior has exposed brick and stone quatrefoil pillars and an unusual balcony at the west end. <1>
