In 1825, Philip, third Earl of Hardwicke, erected the present church at London Colney. It was then a Perpetual Curacy, held by the Vicar of Ridge, but became an independent Vicarage under Act of Parliament... The church and residence adjoining, are prettily situated by the side of the Colne - here widened into the proportions of a lake - close by the high road. The church itself can boast of but little beauty. Without, it is a plain brick building, with a stuccoed front. Within, it is a large oblong room, capable of seating six hundred persons, with a gallery at the west end. (History of Hertfordshire Vol 3 - Cussans, 1881)

The stucco facade was removed during repairs in 1987. The churchyard extends north-west, behind the church, adjacent to an industrial estate. It contains seven commonwealth war graves.
