The early English gothic style church designed by Arthur Blomfield was completed in 1873, at a cost of £5,500, paid for by a local TC Baring of Baring Brothers Bank. It was described in a guide book of 1876 as “an elegant little church – from many spots amidst the old forest trees, the church peeps out prettily, and its spire is a landmark for miles around”. The 125 foot spire is topped with a weathervane bearing the words 'Laus Deo'. The tower contains thirteen hemispherical bells cast at the Whitechapel Foundry. They were originally played by a weight-driven device with pinned barrels, but are now operated from a keyboard with manual levers.
