The plans for the church were drawn up by Edward Ledger Bracebridge of London. It was designed to accommodate 290 people, with 162 of the sittings being free and unappropriated, 68 of which were in a gallery. Much of the church's cost was sourced by Rev. Denison from private loans, as well as the Queen Anne's Bounty. The Salisbury Diocesan Church Building Association also provided a grant of £150 in January 1839. The completed church and its burial ground was consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Rev. Edward Denison, on 22 April 1840.
