The exterior, like St Agnes, is built of brick and again it hides the wonders within. It is totally different from St Agnes in its white interior which gives it a light and airy feeling. The church is taller tha St Anges with exposed beams reminiscent of an upturned boat. Its reredos is a large triptych by Robert Bell and George Frampton.
