Notes on Stained Glass: | The 1915 part of the church has 4 stained glass windows, and there are 3 stained glass windows in the 1963 extension, but we do not know the makers or precise dates of any of them. |
Introduction to Church: | The original church was designed by the architect Percy Aiden Lamb, and work started just 26 days before the outbreak of the 1st World War. Only one Aisle and a Chantry or Side Chapel were built, in an ornate Gothic Revival style, being opened in July 1915. It was then 48 years before the church was given a very large extension by the architect Percy Kelly, in a modern style based on a concrete structure, which opened in 1963. |
