On 14th February 1881 the local MP, Octavius Coope (a member of the brewing family), laid the foundation stone in the west wall of the present church. Two years later the main part of the church had been completed. A total of seven services were held between 5am and 9pm that day. The present church is Victorian Gothic in the early English style, and it was designed by Mr EC Lee, also responsible for the design of St Paul's Bentley, a nearby parish.
