Above the altar is a copy of the National Gallery's Annunciation by Fra. Filippo Lippi, painted by John Hanson Walker, the then rector's brother-in-law. Italian craftsmen designed the mosaics above the altar depicting Christ in majesty between St. George and St. Martin and attending saints {1}. Typical of red brick churches of the 1920s and 1930s, adopting a simple plain Romanesque style with a square bell tower in the style of a campanile. The church has buttresses, round-headed windows, large circular windows and clerestory windows. The later classical porch extension has mock Georgian timber windows.
