This tiny sandstone and brick church reportedly was modeled by Charlton after an unidentified English country church seen by the Right Reverend G. Mott Williams, bishop of Marquette, during a visit to Great Britain in 1900. George Leiphart of Munising built it. Elizabeth Lobb donated, in memory of her husband, Edward, the large stained glass window, Jesus Knocking at the Door. It is set within a Tudor arch.
