Designed in 1903 (foundation stone laid 1906) by G.F. Bodley, who built the chancel (1904), the nave (dedicated 1907) and part of the north aisle, but did not complete the planned three aisles, or the tower and spire planned for the Southwest angle. In 1910 H.O. Tarbolton was called in to report on defects discovered in the nave and to complete the church. This included partially rebuilding the nave, adding the two north aisles and tower at the Northwest angle (to a design reminiscent of Bodley's St Chad's, Stoke on Trent, 1904), all done 1913-1916. He also made considerable later embellishments.
The exterior is dominated by Tarbolton's solid Decorated crenellated tower (with bells) at the Northwest, with a niche containing a statue of St Bridget of Kildare by R. Bridgeman & Sons, Lichfield. It is linked to the nave gable (Bodley's porch not built). The rendered south wall marks the unbuilt south aisle.
The interior scheme is mainly Bodley's, a refined Decorated design with slender arcades of quatrefoil piers and pointed arches embracing nave and chancel. The chancel is marked off only by a low screen and painted rood beam fitted into the curve of the arched timber roof. Carved woodwork and fittings by Scott Morton & Co.
Lady Chapel in the north aisle. Marble altar with panels of mosaic work; on the north wall a deep recess for a recumbent figure (Chantry Chapel). On the wall to the south of the altar a niche with a figure of Our Lady and Child by Eric Gill (1915)
