About Us

We are united in our faith in God who has shown his love to us in Jesus Christ and hope to share this life-changing love with the community around us.

The Church was built in 1873 as a mission church and dedicated in 1915.

A sculpture of the Madonna and Child by John Skelton hangs in the Lady Chapel. This is the original sculpture from which all other copies were taken and a bronze copy is in Chichester Cathedral. The stained glass windows at the east end of the Church depict Christ in Majesty by the late Harry Harvey of York.
