1890 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, replacing church built in 1838. Church in Gothic

north and south aisles, of 4 bays, with 2 windows to clerestorey, one to aisle,
buttress along aisle walls.
Exterior has prominent red tile roofing, with stone copings to gables, carrying
cross finials. Red brickwork (English bond) with flush stone dressings, stone band

Traceried windows of 2 lights to clerestorey, 3 to aisles, and large traceried east
