Stained glass windows and ornate plasterwork to interior. Carved granite gate piers. Cast-iron gates and railings.
A striking Gothic Revival church designed by George Ashlin retaining many fine internal and external features typical of his oeuvre. Prominently sited at a junction, the church is a focal building both physically and socially.
