This church was built between 1870 and 1873 to accommodate the increasing numbers of summer visitors to the area. It was designed by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin. The main benefactor was the Liverpool businessman Charles Kurtz. The church was dedicated in July 1873 and could seat 150 people. It replaced a medieval church dedicated to St Michael and cost £5,000 (equivalent to £560,000 in 2023). The tower was completed in 1907.
