History

The foundation stone was laid on 5 October 1870 by Mr. Farmer. [2] The church was built between 1870 and 1872 to designs of the Birmingham architect Edward Holmes. George Lilley of Ashby-de-la-Zouch was chosen as the contractor. [3] It was consecrated by the Bishop of Worcester on 2 April 1872. [4]

Part of the burial ground was not ready until 1873, and the Bishop of Worcester returned on 22 September 1873 to consecrate it. [5] It contains the war graves of a West Yorkshire Regiment private of World War I and a Royal Marines sergeant of World War II. [6]
