The present church of red brick was erected in 1815 on an old site at a cost of £1,200. In 1864 there were major renovations.  A chancel was added with an organ chamber and vestry incorporated on the south side.  The pulpit on the north wall was removed and a new one constructed at the north east angle of the nave, the ceiling was removed to reveal the beams, rafters and corbels, and the old box pews were replaced by free seats.  However, the organ was moved back to the west gallery in more recent years.  All this work was carried out at a cost of £460.  Five years later the old Regency style windows were gothicised, again by Withers.
