The church possibly incorporates part of earlier Board of First Fruits Church of Ireland church from 1819. The interior has a fine Caen stone pulpit in memory of Lt. Gen. Guise, from 1895 by Charles W. Harrison; and two stained glasswindows: St Stephen; SS Luke & Martin of Tours by Harry Clarke from 1922-23.
