Source Number  

1 Baptist church built in 1877 by G F Muntz of Umberslade Hall. Isolated park-like setting. A large Gothic building by G Ingall, of coursed stone with a slate roof. Polygonal chancel, shallow transepts, aisleless nave, and SW tower and spire. Traceried lancets and rose windows.
2 The church has been reassessed and regraded by English Heritage following an assessment following the observation of a discrepancy in the National Heritage List for England of the recorded grade. A previous upgrading from grade II to grade II* received ministerial approval in 1998, but this had not been fully recorded. The assessment confirmed that grade II* was an appropriate grading with the church of architectural interest, rarity, intactness and group value with the temporary church that now remains as the church hall.
