editThe church was built to designs by architects Kelly and Birchall of Leeds between 1886 and 1887, with later alterations by Lord Grimthorpe.[1]
Architectural style
edit
The church is of a gothic revival style, built of coursed stone with ashlar dressings. It has a steeply pitched slate roof with gable ends, and the four-bay nave has octagonal piers. The reredos was made in 1891 of Burmantofts faience and coloured tiles. There is a terracotta memorial below the west window which commemorates James Holroyd (1839–1890), the founder of the Burmantofts Faience Works, erected 'by his employees'.[1]
