Church Overview
The present building, the third on this site, was built in 1842 but the foundation and the first stone building (extant) are from the 9th century and dedicated to St Apollinarus (the only such dedication in the UK). It is a rectangular building, designed by John Smith, with a perpendicular Gothic façade with octagonal pinnacles and a spired bellcote. A renovation was carried out in 1965, removing the side galleries and installing a central aisle. An apse was created with a central table and pulpit and lectern on the north and south sides in sympathy with the Scoto-Catholic tradition. In 2010 a further refurbishment took place with new chancel furniture and a new 4-manual organ in the west choir gallery.
