The Rector, the Rev. Thomas Jackson, offered the site of the old rectory and garden for a new church to be built opposite the 300 year-old Old Church. The architect George Gilbert Scott (later knighted) was appointed to the project, and designed a building in the style of thirteenth century Gothic. The new St. Mary's was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of London on June 25, 1858: it stretches 180 feet (55m) from the inside line of the apse to the west door, and is 80 feet (25m) wide from north to south transept. The original plan foresaw a spire soaring 220 feet (65m), but it was to be 45 years before this was finally added to the building. Floodlighting was added at Easter 1996.
