History
The first church building was opened in 1863 to designs by the architect William Wigginton. It was later enlarged, with work starting in 1873. The tower was started in 1887 and completed early in 1889. The clock was provided by Smith of Derby in 1893.

Organ
The church had a three manual pipe organ by Bishop which was obtained from St Peter's Church, Eaton Square, in 1874. This has subsequently been rebuilt and expanded by Hele and Co in 1912 and 1951, and again in 1997 by John Males when new stops were added from St Mary's Church, Twickenham. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]
