What is recorded here
Detached circular-plan roughcast rendered church, built c.1975, retaining façade of former church, c.1870. Yellow brick gable-fronted entrance with buttresses, set on a rock faced limestone plinth. Pointed arch door opening and triple lancet windows with limestone dressing. Light shafts in walls and ceiling illuminates interior of church.
The original late nineteenth-century church that stood on this site was destroyed in the 1970s and this modern church constructed in its place. The gabled elevation of the original church was however retained and incorporated into the new church. The interior of this church has distinctive light shafts and a 'floating' ceiling. The church together with the gates form an interesting group of nineteenth and twentieth century structures.
