"The church was completed in 1912 and is a particularly fine example of Nicholson and Corlette's work. The exterior is of local granite and Yennadon stone. The interior is of buff-coloured Ham Stone of which Nicholas Pevsner found 'the sense of smooth surfaces as something pleasurable in itself' (Devon 1989). In 1915 Violet Pinwell was commissioned to carve the oak choir stalls and they are a fine example of her work.
The font, also by Nicholson, was designed in 1936 after Buckland Monachorum demanded their spare font back over a boundary row."
