About the church

Holy Innocents Church was built in 1894–95 and was designed by G. F. Bodley, one of the leading church architects of the period. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

Designed in the Perpendicular (late Gothic) style, the church has a continuous nave and chancel, with tall, slender columns and fine stone detailing. A tower was originally planned for the south-west corner but was never built.

The stonework of the nave arcades is particularly notable and is one of the distinctive features of the building.
