History[edit]

War memorial outside the Church

From 1868 to 1869, the chancel, transepts, and the East bays of the nave were built, having been designed by G. E. Street. In 1908, a vestry, baptistery, and the Western part of the nave were added by Sir Arthur Blomfield and Sons. The church is Gothic Revival in style.[1]

In 1909, Edith Gertrude Latter funded the building of the St Agnes Chapel. It was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and Sons, and was decorated by C. E. Kempe and Co. During the First World War, the vicar, Henry Hall, served as a military chaplain with the 29th Division, British Army. They fought in the Gallipoli Campaign, during which Hall was injured and invalided out of the army.[2] Having returned to his parish, the vicar wanted to commemorate those who has lost their lives during the campaign.[3] He converted the St Agnes Chapel into the Gallipoli Memorial Chapel; it was unveiled by General Sir Ian Hamilton on 25 April 1917.[2]

On 8 June 1973, the church was designated a grade II listed building.[1]
