Built in 1844, it is a Category C listed building.[2] Highbury House, the former manse, built in 1845,[3] stands immediately to the southwest of the church. The church tower was added, with a pyramid slated roof, in 1864.[2] Its bell, made by Vickers and Co. and installed when the tower was renovated, is nearly 29 inches (740 mm) in diameter.[4] Two years later, the manse was extended.[3]
