This church was designed by John Nash, who developed Regent Street which was named after the Prince Regent, who later became George IV. It was consecrated in 1824

The church was badly damaged by aerial bombardment on 8th December 1940, and was re-opened in 1951

The references below disagree about the number of sides that the spire has. [1] and [2] claim seventeen but [4] claims 12. By my count the latter is correct. The number seventeen may refer to the columns in the peristyle surrounding the tower.

There is a bust of John Nash outside. This is a 1956 copy by Cecil Thomas after the original, which dated from 1831, was destroyed by World War II bombings.[4]
