Church Overview

This delightful little church was built originally as a private chapel for Edward James Stopford-Blair of Penninghame House and consecrated 1872. Designed by the noted ecclesiastical architectural firm of W G Habershon & Pite of London and an excellent example of a small Victorian church.

Its original interior fixture and fittings have been retained and it possesses ten beautiful stained glass windows, numerous memorial plaques, a pine altar and wrought-iron and brass rood screen. Its fine Harston & Son two-tracker organ was installed in 1881 and fully restored in 1993.
