Although some sources say that the church was built in 1777, a document from 1816 states that a different building was in use as the Catholic chapel at the time, having been converted from a cowhouse.[1][2] The building is constructed of light red brick, with bracketed eaves, and a Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping.There is a single storey, and along the side are three windows with a roll-moulded surrounds and Tudor arched heads, and a sill band.Inside the church is Gothick decoration and fittings, a gallery at the west end, and box pews.The plasterwork is particularly rich, and is believed to have originally been painted in bright colours, and to have been created by Italian craftworkers.
