The church was constructed from 1929 to 1930 by J Harold Gibbons.[2] The church is listed along with the church hall built in 1933 and the vicarage built in 1939.[3] In 2013, the church got a new parish priest after three years without one.[4] The same year the church became a listed building by Historic England.[2]
