Henton church was designed by architect Benjamin Ferrey, a former pupil of Augustus Pugin, in 1844 with a seating capacity of 306 ‘free’ seats. 

Funds were raised from local donations, subscriptions, a proportionate grant from the Incorporated Church Building Society & a donation of 25 shillings from dowager Queen Adelaide. 

 A Mr. Knight of Wells was appointed contractor and the church was completed and consecrated in October 1847 at a cost of £1200.
