Background
History
The church was built in 1841 by Charles Dyer. The steeple was built in 1859 by John Norton, and the aisles in 1885 by William Basset Smith. In 2015 the church was closed for two weeks after the steeple was damaged in high winds. The Anglican parish is part of the benefice of Christ Church with Emmanuel, Clifton which falls within the Diocese of Bristol. It is affiliated with the New Wine Network. Having formerly been conservative evangelical, the church now accepts women in roles of leadership and public ministry.
Architecture
The cruciform limestone building has a slate roof. It was built in the Early English Gothic Revival style. There is an octagonal apse. The north transept is supported by buttresses. A replica of the church exists in Thames Town, a suburb of Shanghai built in a style imitative of English architecture.
