History
The foundation stone was laid on 27 September 1844 and construction started to the designs of the architect Edwin Hugh Shellard. The church was consecrated on 8 September 1846 by the Bishop of Lichfield. [4] The chancel was enlarged in 1897 by Naylor and Sale, and a vestry added at the turn of the 20th century.
Organ
The church has a pipe organ by Forster and Andrews dating from 1859. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
