A good example of a church by F. A. Walters, built to a generous budget.
The church was paid for by Charles Willcock Dawes, who was anxious that no expense should be spared in its building. His tomb is between the Lady Chapel and the sanctuary. The cost was £15,000. Dawes also paid for the presbytery. The church has carved altars. Reredos, screens and other fittings designed by Walters. The stained glass is mostly by Lavers & Westlake. Brass by John Hardman & Co in memory of Rev Thomas Lalor who died in 1901.
