Designed by Mr Mathers, an architect working for Cheltenham firm Williams and Matthews, and built by local firm A Glenn and Sons Ltd, the Church cost a little over £100,000.

The interior of the Church is dominated by the striking paintings of the Stations of the Cross.  These are the work of Martin Hughes, at the time a young artist from Cheltenham.  He completed them in only four weeks, sometimes working through the night and even sleeping in the Church!

The benches in the Church were all made by a parishioner, Mr Alan Blenkinsop, a professional joiner.

Although the parish was only established in 1974, its Parish Priest, the Rev. F. Calnan SCJ, had been working in the area for the previous five years.  He remains the Parish Priest today.
