The church was opened on 23 July 1964; it celebrated its Golden Jubilee commemorating fifty years of service in 2014.[3] The architect was Gerard Goalen and the modern design won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1966.[4] The dalle de verre stained glass is by Patrick Reyntiens.[5][1]
In 2012, the church was awarded £119,000[6] by English Heritage to resolve issues with concrete cancer and reinforcement decay which was eroding the fabric of the building.[7] The roof and concrete fascia replacement cost about £300,000 despite the English Heritage grant.[citation needed]
The church contains a pipe organ by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[8]
