The large redbrick church in Barnes, constructed between 1891 and 1893 by architect Charles Innes, was initially designed with financial constraints in mind. Despite commencing construction before laying the foundation stone in 1892, the project faced budget issues, resulting in only the nave and altar being completed at the opening. The church, which replaced a temporary structure, features distinctive design elements including muted polychrome brickwork and an unadorned timber ceiling. Over time, the naves were added, and the iconic tower was simplified, resembling a mosque's minaret rather than that of a traditional church.
