History

This church was built 1910 to designs by George Baines (1852–1934) for the Congregational Union in a perpendicular style using a greek cross floorplan. It features a tall, square tower in the south-west corner and has attached church rooms to the north. Its bulk materials were red brick, stone, white brick and terracotta dressings with coloured tile roofs.

In 1941 the new minister of the church was Elsie Chamberlain. She would go on to be a leader in the church and to help found the Congregational Federation in 1972.
