The church's interior is Romanesque and includes items bought abroad by Fr Ryan. The body of the church consists of three bays, each covered by a dome. There are a series of chapels with rich altars, one has a particularly striking nearly life size Pietà.

In addition, the font and pulpit in Derbyshire stone, are notable features. Much of the stained glass and woodcarving was created by young parishioners under the guidance of Gordon Forsyth, Director of the Burslem School of Art. The church was built on a raft foundation to avoid the danger of subsidence. The church was reordered in 1974.
