History of the Church Building
This church was first built in 1834. It was designed by an architect named George Wightwick. He built it for Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet. At that time, it was a smaller "Chapel of Ease." This means it was a smaller church used by people who lived far from the main parish church in Stratton.
How the Church Grew
The church became bigger in 1878. Another architect, Edward Ashworth, worked on the expansion. This project was for Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 11th Baronet. The church was officially listed as a Grade II building on September 9, 1985. This listing helps to preserve its historical importance.
The Church Organ
