The tower by Cornelius Sherlock was built in 1882–83, and the apse was rebuilt in 1894. The church is in Early English style, and is constructed in sandstone with slate roofs and tiled ridges. It has a cruciform plan, and consists of a nave, transepts, a polygonal apse, and a southwest tower. The church contains a sequence of stained glass by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.[4][5] |
