"The foundation stone was laid that year in 1866, but it
was to be another three years before even part of the building was to be used for worship. Centenary services were held in September 1969. Like many of the ecclesiastical structures of that time, the style selected was Gothic or very Early English and was to be composed of what was known as “Newbridge Stone”, with dressings of Bath stone."
