The congregation used the chapel at Rishworth School until a new church, designed by Walsh & Maddock, was built.
The sod cutting ceremony for the new Church took place on 2nd April 1927.
The foundation stone is inscribed
"In the faith of Jesus Christ
This Stone was set by J. R. H. Wheelwright Esq on the 28th day of May 1927"
The Church was consecrated in 1928.
The east apple-and-pear window is a memorial to John Wheelwright, the founder of nearby Rishworth School.
Oak furnishings were carved by Harry Percy Jackson, and the Bishop's Chair by Jackson's son.
The lychgate was built in 1938.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list.
