The total height of the tower and spire is 109 feet (33 m), and the nave contains an arch-braced hammerbeam roof. The first incumbent of the parish to use this building was Rev. Robert Boyle Thompson, an evangelical missionary who had already done "great work" in the slums of Seven Dials when he was granted the living of Thurstonland at the age of 28 years.
