The church was the second to be designed by John Douglas.[1] Building began in 1865 and was completed in 1867.[2] Its exterior is in polychromatic brick, with a slate roof and red sandstone dressings.
It is an unusual building that Douglas' biographer Edward Hubbard describes as being "experimental" and as presenting "an astonishing sight".[1] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner called it "very ugly".[3]
