It has been called "one of the most pleasing modern churches."[1] The building design is attributed to 'M. Menim;'[1] this may have been A. Michael Mennim, who designed a number of churches in the York area.[2]
The church was originally a daughter church of Holy Trinity Church in Heworth, but was separated into its own ecclesiastical parish in 1998.[3] The church is also used as a dance-hall and meeting place for local community groups, such as the York Minster Scout Group.[4]
