The church was designed in a Victorian 'Early English' style by George Farren, engineer and quarry manager for the Welsh Granite Co, operators of Yr Eifl quarry. He was a pupil of Joseph Bonomi of London, and had worked on the Surrey Docks, London, and Helois Lighthouse, Guernsey. The church was commenced in 1879 and opened in 1881 and was well appointed for the time, including a gas machine for heating. Farren, who introduced central heating to the school in 1878, and street lighting to the village in 1898, stood for parliament as part of an anti-Gladstone coalition in July 1886.
