The building was designed by George Townsend Andrews in the Early English style.^[2] The building could seat 450 worshippers, and as of 1851 had around 140 attendees across two Sunday services.^[3] In 1962, Shipton became the main church of the parish,^[1] and later in the decade, the church at Overton was demolished.^[4] The church in Shipton was grade II listed in 1986.^[2]
