This church consists of three sections which were built at different times.The central part of the church was designed by Edmund Blacket and built in 1843. A sandstone at the rear was completed in 1875 and the tower at the front was added in 1901.

  4. Often when churches are added to over time they look pieced together. This looks seamless. Tom The Backroads Traveller

  8. What a lovely edifice - the Church of England looking as if it was transplanted intact from the mother country. Subtle in size and imposing in style!
