This handsome brick and stone church was built in 1718-19, perhaps designed by William Etty, who certainly played a part in fitting out the interior.
Then in a quiet situation on the edge of a lively and vigorous port; now, again, it is surrounded by open spaces.
In 1735 the apse and its 'Venetian' window were added, the west gallery and a new roof in about 1803, but many of the 1719 furnishings remain.
The interior is brightly lit through large clear windows and has many appealing features:

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is a slight step into the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

I visited this church a while ago as I am researching my family tree and I am sure that most of my Simpson family had links with this church as they lived at 28 Church Street from 1851 to 1871, I would love to know if any of this family were buried there,etc.
