was designed by Augustus Pugin
The church was built in 1826 as a proprietary chapel and was designed by Edward Garbett, a local architect who was also responsible for the church of the same name in Theale. The building was heavily modified in 1845, when it acquired its current high-pitched roof and facade. In 1864 it became a chapel of ease in the parish of St Mary the Virgin, and in 1870 it became a parish church in its own right.
The chancel screen in the Church is designed by Augustus Pugin that was originally installed in St Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham. It escaped destruction and was rescued and installed here by a former Vicar, Fr Brindley.
