A bright and beautiful city church
This handsome brick and stone church was built in 1718-19, perhaps designed by William Etty, who certainly played a part in fitting out the interior.
Then in a quiet situation on the edge of a lively and vigorous port; now, again, it is surrounded by open spaces.
In 1735 the apse and its ‘Venetian’ window were added, the west gallery and a new roof in about 1803, but many of the 1719 furnishings remain.
The interior is brightly lit through large clear windows and has many appealing features:
- the striking baroque chancel arch;
- an elegant font with a richly ornamented cover;
- west end stalls for constables, overseers and sidesmen;
- the fine memorial to the Revd Robert Gray (1838).
