This is a red-brick, Gothic-styled Church built in 1916, with the southern transept added in 1932. There had been a Churchyard Cemetery here until 1964, when it was carefully cleared, to enable the Rectory to be built. [Details from Foundation Stone and plaque on the Sundial.]

From a Historical Marker that is mounted on one of the brick pillars at the entrance from the intersection of The Avenue and Forest Road is the following information:
