edit
]
It was built for the
Oblates of St Mary Immaculate
by
Peter Paul Pugin
and
Cuthbert Pugin
to designs by their brother
Edward Welby Pugin
- Edward had planned a south-west tower but this was never built. Its foundation stone was laid on 9 May 1875 by
James Brown
, Bishop of Shrewsbury and the church was opened on 28 October 1877. A presbytery was added between 1884 and 1885 and side aisles in 1934. The parish was served by the Oblates until it transferred the church to the
Diocese of Shrewsbury
in September 2010.
