In accordance with the will of Francis Bowes the first church or Chapel of Ease was built in 1840, the church was rebuilt and enlarged.

Edmund Sharpe made the plans and the estimate for the new church, the cost being £1,288. It is described as Pre Archaeological Gothic of the 13th to 15th century.

Pevsner describes it briefly.

“It has paired lancets along the sides, a west tower with quite an original managing of the bell-openings and the crenellation, and a barn roof inside.”
