History

The church was constructed in 1888 as a Welsh Presbyterian Chapel.[1] The church is in the mixed style of Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival.[1] In 2016, the church was added to the Heritage at Risk Register by Historic England.[2]

The Welsh congregation ended in 1982 at the point it had dwindled to just 20 members.[2] The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star congregation started in 1985.[3]
