St Mary's was one of his first ventures into the Gothic Revival, and its foundation stone was laid on 28th June 1838, Queen Victoria's Coronation Day.

The church is elegant inside and out, and benefits from a footbridge that was built over the A601 in 2007, which gives the best view of Pugin's design.
