History

The church was built between 1865 – 1868 by the architect John Middleton. It was refurbished by Temple Lushington Moore in 1907.

Vicars

  • George L. Gardiner 1888 – 1911
  • Organ

    The organ was installed around 1866 by H Williams. There have been several rebuildings since by William Hill and Son and Nicholson. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

    Organists

  • Adolph von Holst 1866 – 1894
  • Thomas John Grainge 1894 – 1835
  • Melville Cook 1935 – 1937 (then organist of Leeds Parish Church)
  • Herbert Byard 1937 – 1945 (afterwards organist of Cirencester Parish Church)
  • John Wright
  • Interior

    The interior is described by Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel as "a splendid example of ... complete Gothic self-assurance with Victorian Punch". The stone font by Middleton has a canopy designed by H.A. Prothero (made 1896 by William Letheren). Letheren also made the wrought-iron Chancel Screen. The south transept rose window follows an Edward Burne-Jones design (made 1901 by Morris & Co.).
