Church, redundant in 1994. c1909-11. By J Belcher and JJ Joass. Portland stone. Rectangular plan with eastern apse and western concave screen wall. Edwardian Baroque style. Concave facade with central semicircular projecting portico of Corinthian columns supporting an entablature, which continues across the flanking walls, and shallow dome surmounted by an enriched urn. Similar urns surmounted terminating pillars of flanking walls. Round-arched niches with entrances below and tablets supported by sculptured angels above, flank the portico. The projected central tower was never built; now with shaped gable appearing behind portico and having an enriched tablet surmounted by a bellcote with cast-iron balcony.

INTERIOR: there was also no money to stone face the interior; now white-washed brick with exposed brick above. Tunnel vault roof in concrete with penetrations from the middle north and south windows. All windows tall, round-headed.

HISTORICAL NOTE: facade design modelled loosely on S. Maria della Pace in Rome by Pietro da Cortona.
