History

edit

The church was commissioned by Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon. Unfortunately he died in 1890, just before the church was completed. His wife commissioned a cross in his memory which hangs in the church.

The church contains some Panelled oak stalls and desks carved by Eric Gill dating from 1903.

Organ

The church contains a pipe organ by E. Wragg & Son. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]
