According the church website, “St Mary’s was built in the Early English style using indeed cheap machine-made red brick. The only full external view is of the south side from Graham Terrace. Low windowless aisles support a tall clerestory with a plain slate roof surmounted by a bell cote housing a solitary bell. The buttressing was added by Goodhart-Rendel following bomb damage in World War II.” The section about architecture on the church's own site contains much valuable information, including that about twentieth-century changes and additions.
