History: The cornerstone of the original church building was laid on 27 June 1838 and the building was completed in 1840. In1861 it was converted into a crucifix church by the addition of two wings. The prominent tower, designed by C. Freeman and H. J. Jones, was completed in 1891. The church building and the old market hall, which had served as a council-chamber in 1873 and thereafter as a courtroom, as well as the adjoining bell-tower, the cemetery around the church and the ring-wall, form a unique historical nineteenth century unit.
