The foundation stone was laid on 11 August 1939 and the building was completed the following year. The cost was £7,114. The architect is recorded as one Marshall Wood of Hooe (a village near Little Common), who was a government architect in Hong Kong. It is a simple brick church but with a striking west (ritual) end reminiscent of Spanish or Italian Romanesque, though the tiled bell stage and pyramid roof give a distinctively Sussex flavour. | The foundation stone was laid on 11 August 1939 and the building was completed the following year.
