Appraisal
This church, which was designed by J.F. Fuller, incorporates a former tower house to the west in its design, which adds archaeological interest to the building. The architectural form of the building is enhanced the retention of many original features and materials, such as the well executed rock faced limestone, ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The stained glass windows by Heaton, Butler and Bayne add artistic interest to this fine church.
