History

The original church was a wooden building and was established in 1906. The building of the current church began in 1932 and it was consecrated on 28 May 1933.

It is named after two ancient Scottish saints, Ninian and Triduana.

The church was renovated in the 1990s which included altering a portion of the nave to create a hall for meetings[2]

The building was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, whose original plan was not completed due to the outbreak of World War II.

It is a Category B listed building.[3]
