Background
History
The church was built between 1872 and 1874, and designed by the local architect Cornelius Sherlock. The foundation stone was laid on 1 April 1872, and the church was consecrated on 11 February 1874 by the bishop of Chester. Originally it was a chapel of ease to All Saints, Childwall, and became a separate parish in 1893. A south vestry was added to the church in 1897.
Architecture
Inside the church are five-bay arcades carried on round columns. The roof of the nave is scissor-braced, and that of the chancel is coffered. The organ was repaired again in 1939 by Rushworth and Dreaper. However, it needed major repairs in the 1990s and was modernized with poor electronic components.
