A double-height gabled red brick Gothic-revival style church, dates from 1923-1930. Rectangular plan form the building has a single storey flat roof porch to east, gabled chancel to west and a square-plan tower to north. The origins of the church can be traced back to the late 1890's when a site for both a church and a school was purchased in 1900 with construction being undertaken in two stages starting in 1923 with a foundation stone to completion in 1930.
