History
The church was erected in 1868 and was an ambitious design by Samuel Hancorn. It was a cruciform design with a vestibule and deacons vestries. The building was of pennant stone and had an eastern apse. The interior of the church had a chancel arch and a large single span folded roof on arch braces. It also had some good stained glass.
The building was largely financed by the Robinson Family who also paid for the tower to be built in 1894 with a chime of bells.
Sadly during the Second World War the church was hit by a bomb which destroyed the main body of the church.
The new building erected on the site was completed by 1955 and was designed by Eustace Button. The new church incorporates the tower and parts of the west front and porches. The new church is also built of pennant stone. In fact the church mirrors the original building but along more simplistic lines. The interior of the church is light and has a long nave with transepts and a chancel arch and an apse. There is a good two manual extension organ.
The buildings at the rear of the church were rebuilt and opened in 1972 and incorporate a housing development and church rooms. The Tyndale Centre is accessed from Imperial Road.
