Pevsner: "[Robinson] could evidently be what Goodhart‑Rendel called a rogue architect. The church is furiously unruly. Red brick with yellow and black brick, SW steeple with a highly fanciful spire. Windows with plate tracery. But the clerestory windows are spherical triangles filled with roundels. Polygonal chancel. Inside, the piers are of iron, thin and doubled ‑ longitudinally, not transversely. Who in the name of reason would do that?"
