It is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.[2] The church was built in 1881 to a Romanesque Revival design by Ware & Van Brunt.

It was built of granite quarried from Mudge's Swampscott estate, and trimmed with red brick and stone. The interior is richly decorated, with parquet and mosaic floors, carved timber ends, and a number of stained glass windows.[3]
