In 1875 an iron church was opened here comprising chancel, nave, vestry, and porch. It stood not east and west but, owing to the site, north and south. Its features included a bell from Derby, and a marble font from Nannerch. The nave was seated with chairs.
It was superseded in 1895 when the present stone building was consecrated. It was built to designs of Middleteon, Prothero & Phillott in a neo-Perpendicular style, though the east window is of stepped lancets with ogee trefoils. It is constructed of squared rock-faced stone with finer dressings under slate roofs. Its plan embraces a chancel of two bays and nave of four bays, with lean-to north and south aisles to both, but no clerestory. The north-east angle is occupied by the vestry which was intended to be the basement of a tower, not built.
The church contains a war memorial screen by Herbert L. North, 1921, in a lightheartedly Gothic style but in an Arts and Crafts manner.
