Background
History
The church building was paid for partly by W. E. Gladstone but construction was not started until after his death; money was collected largely by his son Rev. Stephen Gladstone. It was built between 1898 and 1902 to a design by Douglas and Minshull of Chester in Gothic Revival style. It was intended that the church should have a tower and a spire, but these architectural features were not included at the time. The lower stage of a tower was added in 1924. The church was dedicated by A. G. Edwards, Bishop of St Asaph, on 8 August 1902.
Architecture
The church is built in sandstone ashlar both externally and internally. It has a clerestory and a chancel with an apse, the chancel being higher than the nave. At the west end are three small lancet windows with stained glass by Edward Reginald Frampton.
