It is suggested that a Norman church or chapel existed on the site around 1086, but sadly nothing remains of this building.

The church has several unusual features, the floor is on one level between nave and the chancel, also has an inclined aisle. We also boast some lovely stained glass windows, two of which are by Kemp, depicting Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and a smaller window by Trena M Cox of Chester, depicting St Francis and St Werburgh.

The origins of the church go back to 1887 when a preaching station was set up in a house in Faulkner Street, in 1908 a small site was bought in Walker Street and a 'tin tabernacle' was erected as a Congregational Church.
