Church completed in 1830 by John Smith in the Neo-Greek style with rectangular giant order, 4-column Ionic portico and a square tower with the Tower of Winds at the top stage. The bays are set off by pilasters, the segmented windows within being set further back. The exterior is protected against change but internally any resemblance to the original has disappeared although some of Smith's interior (the vestibule and stairs) survives.
