On 27th October 1846, Miss Fanny Conway laid the foundation stone for the church.
On Sunday 12th September 1847 the church was filled to over-flowing for the opening service conducted by the Rev. James Farrell and the Rev. WJ Woodcock.
At this time the church consisted of what is now the nave; the transepts, chancel, belltower, vestry and porch being added in 1849. The interior of the church today shows eight lancet windows, two of which have been blocked by the addition of the vestry and belltower, which was raised to a height of 18 feet at the time, and later completed to its present height of 36 feet in the 1870s.
