The church was originally built as a ‘Chapel of Ease' for the residents of Derry Hill and Studley; most of whom worked on the Bowood Estate and lived far from the nearest parish church. The foundation stone was laid on Monday 29th July 1839 and the church was finished and dedicated the following year, the year of Queen Victoria's wedding and the year in which Rowland Hill introduced his famous Penny Post.
