This Gothic style church by Thomas Cundy was consecrated in 1847. The architect's son Thomas Cundy II finished the spire in 1864. E.B. Ferrey also added a new chancel in 1878.
The Venice and Murano Mosaic Company made the six mosaic panels for the pulpit around 1879. They depict the Four Evangelists flanking Sts. Peter and Paul.

This engraving of the interior of the church appeared in an 1871 publication and it shows bare arcades on the pulpit, which means that the mosaics were installed sometime after 1871.
