Structure and history

It was designed by Decimus Burton and opened in 1839 as a Chapel of ease for St Mary the Virgin. Aisles and the east end of the chancel were added in 1855 and 1861 respectively. It became a parish church in 1847. [1] [2] [3] The Reverend Thomas Henry Sparshott married his second wife in this church, in 1890. [4] [nb 1]

It is a conservative evangelical parish that has passed a resolution to reject the ordination and/or leadership of women, and it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Rob Munro). [5] [6]
