The architect, Charles Buckeridge, went to unusual lengths to make this church appear convincingly mediaeval. Where many mid-Victorian Gothic revival buildings were creations intended to represent a complete build from a particular phase of the style, most often early (13th century) or Decorated, Buckeridge designed his north arcade to look Transitional - from Norman Romanesque to early Gothic. Hence the chunky round piers and differently scalloped capitals, supporting arches that are barely pointed and appear rounded at first sight looking along the nave.

The building was made redundant in 1983 and has been vested in the Churches Conservation Trust since 1989.
