It was built close to an earlier church and graveyard, known in some sources as "St Lappan's Churchyard", which had been in ruins since at least the early 19th century.

The building was designed by Welland & Gillespie under the superintendence of Henry Hill. The church is made of limestone, and features a prominent spire. The church is built in the Gothic Revival style. The church features several stained-glass lancet windows.
