[edit] History
The foundation stone for this church was laid by the Duke of Cornwall in 1887.[1] It was designed by the architect J. D. Sedding in the Gothic Revival style.[2] The aisles are narrow and there is a large east window of five lancets.[3]
The church was consecrated on 17 April 1890 by the Bishop of Barbados, the Rt Revd Herbert Bree, in place of the Bishop of Truro, Dr Wilkinson, who was ill.
