Consecrated in 1959, it has a steeply pitched roof and clerestory and was designed by the partnership of Bromilow, While & Smeaton. Its gabled west front is surmounted by an octagonal bell turret with a copper roof. The altar by the nationally renowned architect WH Bidlake was brought here from RC Carpenter's demolished church of St Stephen which was stood on Newtown Row from 1844 to 1950.
