II Parish church. 1937, by N Cachemaille-Day. Walls of brickwork in English bond, arched openings, parapets. Pantile roof. The general appearance is that of an early Italian basilica, with exaggerated horizontal dimensions; a nave with aisles with a tower at one corner, surrounded at its base with flat-roofed vestries, and a large porch, having 3 arched openings; the (long) face of the tower has patterned brickwork in the form of a cross. There are 3 windows to the aisle and a recessed doorway, lesser clerestory windows, and rows of diminutive lights below the parapets of two and vestry block. The gable ends have 3 middle windows on two levels, broad pilasters, and single aisle windows. Inside, the external impression of length is changed. There is a square 'nave' with orientation across the 'aisles' which are separated by single arches rising as curves from the floor level, the 'aisles' having half-barrel vaults of plaster. At right angles, (beneath the gables) there are upper galleries fronted by two large arches which separate the church from a corridor/baptistry on each side; a flat panelled ceiling extends across the nave and galleries. Plain plastered interior and simple furnishings.
