Ground floor: originally a horseshoe gallery, now infilled by mezzanine floor, supported on cast-iron columns with flowers to friezes. The church is listed in Kellys Directory of 1908 but not in that of 1897, which indicates that it was built in the intervening period, although it is in the style of an earlier period.
