The winning entry in an architectural competition, this little church uses as much of its constricted site as possible. Originally it was surrounded by houses, but these were pulled down and replaced with yellow brick clad offices in the 1970s. The church is placed over a church hall and has a nave, single aisle and transept. The large window in the picture above is actually the end of the transept and not as supposed the end of the nave, as the nave runs north-south. The church has a fine interior.

The church is currently fund-raising for a restoration of the exterior.
