Completed in 1896 and designed by William Willmer Pocock (1813-99) this polychromatic brick neo-gothic church is an attractive and distinctive local landmark with its quaint corner turret topped by a spirelet. Pocock was a distinguished national architect, his works include Carpenters’ Hall, City of London, Dartford Methodist Church and the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Elephant and Castle (all Grade II listed buildings).
Vestries were added to the church in 1924 and a new street entrance in 1961. To the rear, fronting on Parkhurst Road is the Parkhurst Hall (1892) designed by Philip H Tree, used as the chapel before the church was built and then as a meeting hall and schoolroom.
