The chancel and transepts were erected, together with a great central tower by George Goldiein the early 1860s. But the construction of the tower proved to be a controversial affair and resulted in a long and costly law-suit which began as a dispute between the architect and builder and ended with the involvement of their client. On foot of a Court Order the tower had to be dismantled. Ashlin & Coleman got involved in 1902 and remodelled the nave and constructed the 200ft tower at the east end.
