Statement of Significance

A dramatically-sited polychrome brick church, with stone details, designed by Percy Oakden and built in 1887, comprising a hexagonal preaching space, crowned by a wooden fleche, and aspidal termination sited above and undercroft. The nave was intended to be longer. This building is notable for its powerful use of brickwork, vertical proportions, simplified details and amphitheatrical interior. The building was illegally part-demolished in November 1985.
