Architect unknown but possibly by William Butterfield or one of his pupils. Built in Early English gothic style of brick faced in coursed ashlar buff sandstone with slate roofs. Dating from between 1872 and 1875 by Morris and Co. the pièce de résistance is the three light east window, principally designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The window in the north chancel wall shows St. Mark and St. Matthew, by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Ford Madox Brown respectively. Morris and Co. existed in various incarnations between 1861 and 1898, but was a design studio and decorating company. Some of the firm's designs have a pre-eminent place among the best Victorian windows, and can be considered some of the finest stained glass produced in at least three hundred years, and have been described as 'One of the wonders of Victorian church art' (MacCarthy).","listed-building":"1391786"}
